1. O you whom the night enveloped in its darkness
A startled soul in its wilderness

2. You look around for me in its corners
Yearning heart for the lost bewildered one

3. If you are thirsty for me, how much have I thirsted for you
Loyalty brought misery for both you and I

4. O my wish, life was harsh on you
And its heavy destinies cruel to me

5. I turn to your place, and my heart is paralyzed, unable to move
I cried: what a pity! You were once here

6. Why did fate deny me, leaving me there?
The sky frowned, and its shadows darkened

7. As if eagles landed, resting their wings
As if the clouds' burdens overhead

8. Were loaded on the small shoulders beneath
You cry out for the sky, but it is unresponsive

9. Having folded the cheer of each shining star
If it were empty, it would have listened and came close

10. You knew it well, so it became narrow and stifling
O you who escaped fate and its turning

11. Strange for an escapee to take refuge in another escapee
Either it was a star that rose and declined in its weakness

12. You saw your luck in the fading rays
What a pity for you, a wandering soul

13. And the universe has secrets too narrow for the valleys
A passerby crosses and a passerby speeds

14. While specters pass, hidden by darkness
In your cheeks a glow and charm

15. And in your eyelids, tears and swooning
Thus days pass you by, unknown

16. And their torment unknown
My paradise, if only before we met

17. You hadn't fled from me with a happy word
As is the wretched habit of my fate

18. I lost after the departure of my only star
Destinies alternate, and they do wrong

19. How many nights betrayed the days?
As if this fate is a sin

20. And the whisper of its breeze, a prayer of forgiveness
As if it is the sorrows of people who journeyed

21. The palaces are covered in dust, the walls desolate
Like statues frozen in place with their forms

22. Blackness prevailed on the face of the houses
And their weeping and tears came to me

23. As if I am on a deserted shore
A ship that will not return has left

24. When it bid farewell, and departed
Nothing remained for the onlooker

25. Except visions of happiness that sailed away
And farewells of loved ones, and a traveler's tear
