1. O you whose stride is balanced, my patience has run out
And my tears for my hidden love have become evident

2. You renewed my sorrows though you lined my eyes
With wakefulness, so between me and sleep there is a great difference

3. In breaking my vows you strove hard
Since my tears over your separation have become deceitful

4. Your remoteness told me to be patient with you though I am not inclined
And I avoid being inclined towards you out of caprice

5. O object of my goal and your due merit to me
Nothing has befallen my heart except your image, O human

6. Be gentle with the sorrowful one you stabbed with your figure
All the branches have come to know his leaning

7. My tears obeyed me and the slanderers in you weakened
And I was led to love which is the greatest temptation

8. O object of my request, he who eulogized my leanness in love
Surely lamented, and the rock itself would have softened from me

9. I burdened my heart with what was beyond its capacity
And intimacy and anguish for your love and passions

10. O full moon, has not witnessing my sickness sufficed you
And my tearful one until I spent time in estrangement

11. I am truly patient with love though it is bitter
No lover lived who complained of love or existed
