1. If happiness would shine from its planet,
The longing one would not get lost in the abyss of dimensions.

2. O full moon whose cheek is reddened with shyness,
Don't you feel sympathy for the one your separation has made suffer?

3. And how can I propose when barriers abound?
But my heart yearns for the society of humans.

4. Can I hope for just days and a good destiny,
When sorrow and affliction persist and grow?

5. How much I long to ascend yet stumble,
And how much I long to be happy yet sin!

6. Whenever I arrive at a watering place, I avoid it,
And with thirst I burn instead of quenching it.

7. Has not enough fluttering weakened this lamenting lover
That failure is intended for all his hopes?

8. The garden of generosity called me to pluck its fruits.
But my sickness said: No! Custom should not be broken!

9. Have mercy, oh my sickness! My pain should suffice you -
A cheek reddened by my streaming blood.

10. Oh God, I have melted from my burning,
And my tears flow and fall from my eyes.

11. I long for my beloved though they are veiled from me -
Does longing for loved ones ever cease?

12. I see you made my loved ones taboo, though they deserve
That moons and full moons be associated with them.

13. Oh you who ask about my sorrows after those dear have gone -
Separation was long so there is no use to complain!

14. I will complain about the stinginess of my time to one generous -
If one who meets me comes, stinginess will not remain.

15. I will set out with fury, barefoot and poor,
If passion shakes the spear, slicing is its function.

16. And I will take revenge with a cutting sword,
As gazes take revenge on each other with gazing.

17. With my sword I will strike the door of victory, not with my mouth -
Victory's key is the sword and poetry is closed.

18. I roam all countries adorned by my words
As if adorned with necklaces on necks.

19. I waste away due to the work of an ungrateful slanderer -
His tongue split and the canine tooth split.

20. I follow the star until I find a moon -
Its radiance to the sun apparent and hidden.
