1. Let an eye rejoice for the guest's phantom it awaits
And a passion for innocent love it claims

2. O you who turn away without sin, though they blamed you
The sin is from you - why the rejection and anger?

3. Why not keep pacts the youth kept safe
A youth who quenched for youth when eagerness kindled

4. Your love for them has not fulfilled any want for them
Until it fulfilled and fulfilled some of what's deserved

5. You walked away while among the living a dead man wondered at
If a breeze from you stirred him, confusion would shake him

6. The leaves of love's fever wilted for his loss, and bent
Were the clouds' eyelids, their poles tilting toward him

7. Joy to him whose insides sincerity has wrapped
He whom ambition never twisted crooked

8. In passion's custody are eyes a tear of theirs adorned
With a passion, for love accounted a credit

9. I do not complain of the fire of passion which burned my liver
While my tears from their conduits clouds have watered

10. O neighors of Baan, through your district a gaze have I
That looks to the nomads, an Arabian strain claims

11. Be it gloomy, the branch in leaves concealed
Or bright, the moon in vapors obscured

12. Speak without fault of its good savor
For there is breeze in his mouth, musk and cloves

13. I vow to the zephyr I'll never leave it
For from its sweet dew it draws life

14. And I love the moon - not that I'm infatuated with it
But that from the radiance of its cheeks it kindles

15. And I watch the lightning - I walked its walker's route
For the sake of what it to the mouth relates

16. O lightning portraying his smile's pearls
You told truly but you missed the moustache

17. O new moon of nightfall, shepherd its radiance you'll find
A shining full moon, the ranks nobled by it

18. O breeze of morning, greet him and say
I left him in the gloom, awaiting a star

19. Strengthen by him a lover his watcher guards
From my watcher, the fever, the baan and sticks

20. I swear by my tears, by the breezes unleashed
Hope in him is ended, seeking is done
