1. I turned my gaze towards you,
And made you a shrine for my soul.

2. In your path, O destination of my journey,
My heart did not go astray nor become confused.

3. Yearning for you ambushed my patience,
And ignited flames of passion within my yearning.

4. The wound settled in the depths,
While silence revealed secrets.

5. Love still besieges me,
With love, on the right and left.

6. I did not forget the promise, and you are the promise,
I carried your love with determination.

7. My eyes are two wounds fixed on your shore,
I carried them night and day.

8. The shore calls me, summons me:
"Do not fear, storm the barriers!"

9. And the house cries, waves to me:
"I am your house, do not forget the home!"

10. Generosity caresses me, seduces me,
Its vessels staggering drunk.

11. The wells whisper to me,
Dancing branches and fruit.

12. O love! Whose way is destiny,
Wake up and defy destiny!

13. The exile narrowed, so the gardens of life
After you are barren wastelands.

14. After you, no sun, no dawn,
The heart loved no more nor chose.

15. After you, spring did not come,
The flowers did not bear flowers.

16. No fragrance after you -
Fragrance turned to smoke and dust and ashes.

17. After you, life is barren years,
An eye that rains tears.

18. Rivers overflowed with tears after we parted,
God have mercy on the rivers!

19. The night birds wept on nights of love,
And the dawns wept with them.

20. The stars wept their rising places,
The nights eulogized the moons.

21. The nightingale disappeared from the meadows,
Sorrow assassinated the nightingale.

22. How hard it is when the breezes are cruel,
And after you, become storms!

23. After you, the palace of dreams collapsed,
And in my heart, the world crumbled.
