1. O soul, why do you lament and cause me pain
You have tormented my heart with yearning

2. And concealed what you intend
The lovers of passion have fallen asleep

3. Wrapped in blankets of peace
Yet you, O soul, refuse to sleep

4. Do you alone feel?
The night has passed without you

5. Were you not overcome like the rest?
Why then the defiance and turmoil

6. My body is not fortified with metal
You unleashed your wailing into the darkness

7. Take care the people hear you
And think your moaning is the trumpet

8. Calling for the day of judgement
O soul why are you so troubled

9. Like prey amidst wolves
Why not return to righteousness

10. And replace your doubts with certainty
A dove between the winds

11. Fate has offered her openly
Her wings are soaked by the rain

12. O soul why do you tremble so?
Does your sorrow have no relief

13. Even if dawn approaches
If only your secret was shared

14. So I could understand your hidden pain
The spirits of darkness have tempted you

15. Showing you what's behind the veil
You craved what cannot be attained

16. O soul, how high do you aspire?
You climbed the ride of ambition

17. Until you reached the meadows
But then came the order to turn back

18. Do you regret your descent?
Or does the old memory haunt you

19. The memory of passion before reason
So you stand in the prison of the past

20. Glancing back towards desire
Did you release a thought into the sky?

21. And chase it high into the air
But it vanished and dissolved in the void

22. So you returned bereft, lamenting
You took the path of fantasy

23. Leading to the impossible
So you unloaded your burden at

24. Mirages that absorb the overflow of springs
You forgot your quest and yearning

25. Stopped by the illusion
Spilling the excess of clouds

26. Seeking water you hoped to find
Until when the sands grew harsh

27. And the mirages revealed their ruin
You buried your head like an ostrich

28. Digging in the sands of my heart
You fell for your likeness in the sky

29. A sister yearning for union
So you sat imprisoned by hope

30. Gazing up hoping she'd look to you
You waved with hand and cloak

31. For her to see you, but no hope
You didn't know you're in a cloak

32. Woven of water and clay
If life came between you two

33. Even if ordained by God
He would weep for the humans He saw

34. As a fetus struggling against the womb
O soul, you have eternity

35. While my body is destined for worms
Maggots will feast on your eyes

36. So leave it be and cease your digging
O soul, do you enjoy separation?

37. For the body is exhausted by union
You burdened it with mountains

38. Humiliating it, caring not
Thirst, hunger, burning yearning

39. Regret, sorrow, inner fire
Woe is me, is this life bearable?

40. The whims of a soul that's unrelenting
My heart - how sorry I am for it

41. Like a child stretching its hands to me
Why not extend a hand to it

42. Like a mother to her son?
You weaned it off milk

43. Denied it the taste of passion
Made an old man of a boy

44. Who crawls at the doorstep of years
It became like a digger of graves

45. Smothering feelings in hearts
Spending nights shrieking of ruins

46. Complaining to you while you gloat
A blind man assailed by sorrows

47. Whose wounds have become eyes
With which he sees the roads of death

48. Walking like those destined to win
Until when the goal draws near

49. His vision is painted black
Returning blind, led

50. By the moan of ardent craving
He gropes for the distant light

51. With fingers of scattered thought
And a stream of poetry flows from his mouth

52. Like blood from the wounded
Have you seen the spider's web

53. And a fly dying in it?
It danced to the tune of silence

54. Painfully, but no wailing cured the agony
Thus is my heart in your trap of hope

55. It enjoys only dirges, not joyful song
That's no melody, but elegy

56. Mourning the buried dream
O soul, when fate's arrow strikes

57. And you return to the sky
With my heart's blood on your shirt

58. What will you do then?
You sacrificed my heart in your quest

59. Rushing to ascend
But when called to enter

60. With which eye will you enter?
