1. The lightning's gleam saddened you, gloomy one,
It cracked through the air in flames.

2. It flashes in the cheeks of laughing companions
Awestruck by the winds of youth and morning.

3. It cast its burden upon the horizon
And dragged its tail over the dunes.

4. A mourner wailed at dawn in the branches
Feeble when overturned.

5. It calls a beloved's name to mind
Remembered in its moist season.

6. So I sleep like an exile, calling out
With wails and cries of distress.

7. I reach into my torn shirt, grabbing
Dust onto my head with my hand.

8. Until when I attain my goal
And fulfill my purpose,

9. I rely for solace on the strength
Of my back, resigned to fate.

10. Noble youths reproach does not touch-
Righteous, acting and related.

11. They grew on gentle manners like the scent
Of musk, permitted and emanating.

12. One with dangling locks serves them drink,
Snatching with his mouth the dripping cups.

13. From red wine whose laughs are stained
He pinches the gold between us in the cup.

14. From fragrant, scintillating coffee
You see as it's mixed beloved grains.

15. Together, and the first loves to glance
At the last's loving glance.

16. They said, denying my evasion of the cup
And my killing them with my music,

17. "What's wrong with you? What possessed you, woe to you,
To make you so gloomy and alone?"

18. You've indulged in worries, distress and ecstasy,
Stirred sorrows and troubles,

19. Cast off the bow of every calamity
That struck you one day with its arrows.

20. Did the mercy that people forgot its name
Since it was titled abandon you?

21. Or did your whipped heart's sadness and longing
And the toil of affliction and trouble?

22. A companion whose gathering I do not hope
Will stand for a time and turn to leave.

23. I preferred that my patience not be blamed
For the joy of my heart, so it perceived anguish.

24. So he left while wellness did not detain him,
And my eye remained beside his.
