1. The sleepless reproached the night,
They spent the night restless.

2. Separation was prolonged for them,
If only it had remained dark.

3. An ignorant fool was wicked,
And made the people hear blame.

4. When the people complained, he said:
"To whom and to what?"

5. He passed by ignoring my people,
While they nobly passed away out of love.

6. He issued blame in his speech,
And they said, "Peace."

7. The night fluttered its wings,
And darkness built tents.

8. There, at daybreak, the people
Were expectantly awake for love.

9. The roar of passion killed them,
Dying of love and burning.

10. Have you heard of others besides us
Who died of fervent love?

11. O stars in my night sky,
You brought order to the darkness.

12. The moon of love hid away,
As if a veil concealed it.

13. We would have collapsed and knocked
On the dome of the horizon in distress.

14. If but a wink from it at us
Would set our swords ablaze openly.

15. It avoids guides,
And disdains humility.

16. Excuse, for God's sake, a heart
That fell passionately in love.

17. I cannot conceal it
For all eternity.

18. My love composed words,
And it became eloquent speech.

19. Its actions in my heart persist,
Compete with me, O critics!

20. The present took my beginning
As news that became a conclusion.

21. O my passionate origin,
My tears' sea has been stormy because of you.

22. Take wisely, for my murder
Would be unlawful in religion.

23. Explain my sorrows,
And satisfy the adversary's revenge.

24. Review the essence of meanings,
And fill the cup again and again.

25. Grace my eloquence gently,
Move toward me and toast.

26. My censurer's disputation weakened
His words while the separation remained.

27. He broke his promise,
Deviating from his aim.

28. Numerous are love's ailments,
And how much illness they showed.

29. The reasons for union with the soulmate -
How many bones they revived.

30. The fire blazed in my heart,
Igniting embers within it.

31. Say to it, "O Love, make me
Cool and safe."

32. Save me from what I am in,
And harmonize my gaze.

33. Then return me to union,
And let years go by, year after year.

34. Revive my heart with promises,
From your arrows piercing it.

35. Await the moment of my death,
And make the union the conclusion.
