1. The blossoming of a life of joy has withered away,
And days of companionship have come and gone.

2. Days spent in vain amusement and play,
Seeing happiness, my tears started to flow.

3. Thinking my crying was out of blame, she increased,
When she saw there was no consolation, she diminished.

4. I was consoled by blame, while my heart was consumed by passion,
My heart became weary, and the beauties grew tired.

5. May Allah water the grave whose soil was poured
Over the soul of my body, if only my palm would be paralyzed.

6. Tomorrow, traveling on, and my eyes follow his bier,
Tomorrow, by it, the pangs of death were made easy.

7. When the barrier of dust blocked him from me,
And my eyes from him, not my heart, were separated.

8. I tossed about while my intestines were displaced
From the spot where they belonged, because of the intensity of the anguish pouring out.

9. No sympathizer came to me with two cheeks
Or with the palm of a hand, went astray and got lost.

10. More than I, on the day he was absent, tossed about,
And no tears on that day, did the eyelids pour down.
