1. My patience towards yearning has gone bankrupt
My tears admit it, yet cannot be restrained

2. I would sacrifice myself for those who have proof of companionship
When honoring it, souls are sold

3. If they could hear the silence of those estranged from them
It would soon soften even smooth solid objects

4. They left while my covenant with tears after them
In their market, it is sold and devalued

5. Alas! For my ambitious visions’ observer
From the mistake of separation to then fall asleep

6. Far-fetched, solace in passion can be found for me
And the fawn with smooth legs excites my affliction

7. A gazelle whose cheeks are as if roses
From the blood of those who love him, every day picked

8. Nashwan didn’t drink settled wine
A branch, but planted in my broken heart

9. Why does he not raid my heart for once
While my cheek is covered in yellow chrysolite

10. Crying has made my cheek into burrows
So when tears flow in them they dry up

11. Thus sleep is eradicated from my tired eyelids
And sorrow in my sore heart established

12. Wondrous to its weak observer, and in the inner thoughts of
Lovers, from the lion of Sira he is most valiant

13. He has ruled my heart with a side-glance and wink
The violet and narcissus smile in them

14. How to find solace and inner peace
When passion stands steadfast there and sits

15. O my desolator since you deserted me I have remained
Alone amongst friends, I have no confidante

16. Don’t fear any defense, your cheek speaks
Of my blood upon you, so I have another tongue made silent

17. Except you, how strange, he who resides in the inner thoughts
And sympathizes with the bitter times bankrupt

18. In his cheek a rose, yet its glance
Has become with the arrows of coquetry to guard

19. His glances overpower me whenever indifference appears to me
So the lips smile, and the eyelids frown

20. And with a soft cheek flaming hellfire
So marvel, its chrysolite being chaste elegance

21. No wonder if at night he wanders confused in his hair
How much he has misled people cordial yet devious
