1. We are one day joined, another day parted
What is with you? What is with your unkept vows?

2. My lovesick heart was patient with your love
And it was with me, yet deceit was within it

3. You were fooled by that deed from it
It was its deceit against you and hypocrisy

4. So ask about its talk with others besides you
And that talk will be conveyed to you

5. And in a farewell in which I unveiled my mask
When I was loaded with what cannot be borne

6. And the field of tears was leveled, so in the dark
There was racing with flames, and words caught up in it

7. Then I would find comfort in revealing
my sorrows while lovers grew weary

8. Indeed the turtledoves and lovesick ones like me
Bow down because of the likes of it

9. Seeking refuge with a hostile possessor of a house
To which frequently the alleys were made ready

10. I visited her in a band whenever a
Night darkened, the dawn seemed to them radiant

11. They provoked sorrows with cups in which
The blood of sorrows in them was shed

12. It made them drunk in the morning, then deserted them
And returned with it while they still were not sober

13. Drunkenness follows its sister, and you see the
Days folded as if they were leaves

14. In an era of purity, its margins flourished
Thus it became as if it were the Folding

15. Whenever I visited it, I found virtues
A house was built from it, and a porch extended

16. Favors wander on the camels' necks until
They seem to be collars

17. And a loftiness the sky rose above
And praise beyond it the horizons

18. And steeds of gifts heavily
Their carrying burdened the excellent coursers

19. And hearing I ordered it with pride
So manners forbade it that trait

20. So it desisted obedient to them, and upon it
Appeared shame and lowering the gaze

21. It hides in its action when its
Violating action appears among the people

22. It has perfected its actions, and for the
Shame before, its description of them suffices

23. Perhaps the noble hands are many, yet
The subtle meanings do not benefit the paltry
