1. Messengers of tears are the most eloquent messengers
They came to a heart constantly confused

2. They flow down my chest, from it they began
And everything returns to its origin

3. The lovers, however many they are
Are not in their sickness and passion like me

4. I preceded them in describing their anguish
And they, by preceding me in time, preceded me

5. O tormentors, a lesson
You made your torment my reward

6. None of you should be deceived by me
Not every arrow has a penetrating point

7. The cup of love and wine is one
Each unleashed upon reason

8. If you are blamed, object
From one whose eyes are sleepy for you

9. When you can bear your own burdens
Of their magic, you can bear my burden

10. Or not, your blame will not pass
For what I have sworn by, nor be legitimate

11. O garden of beauty, whose flowers
Have no need for a visitor or rain

12. Are you too narrow for my eyes and their glance
That you left them while tears are busy?

13. If your stinginess kills me, then between us
The killer is the stinginess

14. You thought my paths difficult
How, when their destination is Abu Sahl?

15. His charms in his distance forever
Are his charms with the heavy rain

16. He comes apologizing
With features gathered together

17. And manners whose essence is seriousness
You think them jest

18. Do not possess redundant praise
Thinking it a kind of generosity
