1. Last night I slept as you slept
Troubled, disturbed, in despair and restless

2. With a wound in the heart that was deprived
Of the nights' permitted balm of bandages

3. I sleep but only to awake to my misery
And I wake but only for my heart to suffer

4. Far from me is the sleep of wishes
And far from me are the wishes for rest

5. And I'm happy with what I have endured
Yet I'm sad to show the flint and steel

6. Last night I slept as you slept
Grieving, submitting, my heart dismayed

7. As if my soul was a sadness of evening conversation
Yesterday it seemed to me at the expanse of sand

8. And of my ambitions and dreams of my soul
In my palm but the ashes of ashes

9. And you know what I have endured
And what I will endure and what is intended for me

10. It is enough worries that arouse poisons
A tavern of despair with a cup of persecution

11. It is enough misery that wears out my struggle
And makes my steeds kneel at every pursuit

12. Yes, I'm tired of staying in a boring life
And humiliated living in this country

13. Were it not for little ones like the kitten's mew
And the tragedy of an orphan and mourning clothes

14. And my sadness for you, grieving, and poems
Have eulogized me, by the daughters of ink

15. I would sell life and its evils
In the market of death for the lowest bid

16. Last night I slept as you slept
Troubled, disturbed, in despair and my pillow

17. And in my soul there is a fire, that if it dies out
Its dormancy increases its inflammation

18. And there is a fire in my soul that has made
The wishes of my heart like ashes

19. And many poisons have wilted
My flowers, so they poured like the overturned baskets

20. Far from me is the sleep of wishes
And far from me are the wishes for rest
