1. My eyes overflow with tears of your absence
Glistening as pearls if you do not shed them

2. I would give a quarter of my patience for you, after you it crumbles
Though this is where longing resides prosperously

3. Longing represents you vividly to my sight
So I bow in reverence as if you were present

4. And fold my passion-scorched wings
Pretending to be oblivious and patient about you

5. I'm astonished by one whose deity is always fire
Yet his cheek was unburnt though an infidel

6. More amazing is that your flirtatious glance
Testifies to its signs though a sorcerer

7. Oh my people, love has shed my blood
Will the avenger arise for the slain of eyes?

8. Since I was told a branch standing tall
Was no more, I knew for certain my heart had flown

9. My eyes delight to see its springs overflowing
When the covers of night enshroud those cheeks

10. That cheek grew no herbage, but was rendered green
By the multitude of tears that furrowed it
