1. O lightning that twists and turns
When will you rest, O my delight

2. Affection for you grows secretly within me
If only you would shine your rays

3. O lightning, beloved of my heart
With abandonment, they made my heart stray

4. My tears flowed continuously
And their word of farewell I heard

5. The judgement of those I love
O lightning, their rule I obeyed

6. I announced the flood of my eyes for them
And they made known my abandonment

7. Distance alarmed my composure
If only they would alarm for me

8. My heart is impressionable
To love and ardour

9. I bade farewell to my soul despondently
Since the time of farewell was announced

10. They toyed with my heart
Those flirts with their coquetry

11. The waves from my eyelids’ sea
Have no ebb to cease

12. In it are the ships of my fervour
No sails could contain them

13. And I, with lament forever
Have battles and struggles

14. It fills from my soul’s exertion
A bucket, and a bucket is emptied

15. And from the sigh of my moan
Lovers find audio

16. It's as if I'm a parchment of affliction
On which the inscriber dried his ink

17. And oh, the wonder of my love
Its awareness of my affairs

18. It is the possession of my soul
And for men, a possession

19. My loss is in its misplacement
And others' loss is in its absence

20. The support of love is my knowledge
From it, hearing truths

21. And allowing passion in it
For others in it, refusal

22. A negativity in matters
From it, individuals find intercession

23. An implication beneath my heart
Like fire, cannot be contained
