1. O joy and you, O sorrow
Why did I not die when separation became hardships

2. Did my life get prolonged or was my destiny extended
Or is there no yearning for me in the blamers

3. Or did the one I secretly loved not know
Or did the abodes not become desolate after him

4. If only the water of the Euphrates could tell us
Where did its ships turn with their people

5. How good is death when they are separated
And how bad is life after they blamed

6. Woe to those in love, how I pity them
They have struggled in their pursuit and become weary

7. These doves, if they cry and call
In their crying, art makes them happiest

8. So who can help me in my youth
If the beloved and neighbor abandon me

9. I was patient for love when I was afflicted by it
And the secrets and openness in me died

10. O creator of the sin against me to wrong me
Your abandonment of me tests me regarding sins

11. I have no favors for which to thank you
Rather, I thank you, the favors are from you

12. You were ignorant of my friendship, so you do not recognize it
While you are knowledgeable and perceptive in abandonment

13. After you, happiness fought me
Just as sorrow reconciled with me when you were lost

14. Your glance and heart helped you
Against my soul, and my soul raids against me

15. Of what love clothed me, its clothes
Will be my shroud forever

16. Love for the one I passionately loved weakened me
Until separation cured me and cured my weakness

17. The love of a young girl who appeared
Caused tribulations for me, and tribulations in loving her

18. When she comes close to the bed, its owner
Finds intimacy and the embrace enjoyable from her

19. Like dark eyeliner, she is not lined with kohl
And the teeth, there are no gaps between them

20. So in my heart there is a branch for loving her
The branch greens in every moment

21. It was said to her: He is a lovesick brother
Infatuated and tempted by your love

22. So she turned away haughtily saying
A poet can say whatever he wants

23. No one from the past was entrusted
With our disgrace, so how can he be trusted?

24. Two loves are hidden in my heart for her
One apparent and one buried

25. The enchantment of your love settled in my liver
For love, it has no other homeland

26. You heard from one envious of us
Slander when weakness came to you

27. If your abandonment pleases you
We have no price for reunion with you

28. I took off the chain mail in love
Thus in love the chain mail is taken off

29. By my father, whoever says "by my father" to me
While my heart is hostage to him

30. His love seeks me to kill me
And there is no affection between me and it

31. And how many things passed as tradition
Just as traditions passed in the tribes

32. And one who says: You are no lover, even if
You were a lover, you would have become weary long ago

33. So I said: My soul keeps my love secret
My love and it are stored in it

34. Passion weakened my intellect and tormented it
So I have no intellect or body

35. My heart loved and my body did not know
If my body knew, it would not gain weight

36. If the lovers weighed their love
My love would equal their love in weight

37. No fault if I was indulgent in love poetry
For those before me also indulged
