1. I have resolved and you have not resolved
To abandon all the pledges between us

2. By that which I cared for of your covenant
After your benevolence, the passionate is known

3. I used to weep while the intention was not ripe
Afterwards, so what can be done, you determined

4. And how can one not be restless who
Is always made restless by your ancient love

5. I feel comforted by the wind when it passes
Bearing news of you and breathing your scent

6. As though it laments the wounds of passion
So to my heart without you it is a balm

7. The voyagers do not know what befell me
In fervent love had the guide not divulged the markings

8. I concealed it until when it manifested
Tears revealed what I was hiding

9. And you did not cease to disclose the secret of passion
From me whenever I visited the gentle hills

10. I ask about her family feigning absence
As though she can hear or understand

11. And perhaps I express all that
Increases my fervor, though she is a foreigner

12. Encampments, I have come to weep for them
After once smiling in them

13. With tears, after the beloved ones
Upon the soil of their ruins I lament

14. If rain is scarce and if the clouds
Of abundant rain rumble and swell

15. And time is inconstant, experiencing for me
Misery, then comfort after it

16. So do not resent its actions
For often the esteemed becomes insignificant

17. My loved ones, do not spurn my tears
For after you they are blood

18. You are distant, so time in my eyes
Without your lights is gloomy

19. And my bright life after desire
Was darkened by your swarthy estrangement

20. Had it not been for my tears the day I bid you farewell
The secrets of passion would not have been known

21. Shall I complain of you or to your injustice
Complain of what has befallen me from you

22. And I do not see that my course of action
Grants me justice from one who has always wronged me

23. Harmfulness has become for it a doctrine
And it for harmfulness, beyond all mankind, is staunchest

24. Loved ones, if asked what we would choose
I would not say but them

25. They surrendered me to the humiliation of passion
Unjustly, and thought that I submit

26. My heart for what it bore from them
Does not know weeping and does not tire

27. Whether they support or accuse, it has not ceased
To be apprehensive, supportive and accusative

28. And a watcher whose eyes the thought of parting does not sleep
And for whom tears prevent slumber

29. Our neighbors, here I am, still true
To my vow, so are you as you once were?

30. Time has not changed its face toward us
To displeasure, that you have changed

31. I fulfilled my duty when the people of passion betrayed
And did not say that you betrayed

32. An allusion in its folds is every thing
That weakens me of you and pains me

33. Would that you when your night journey departed
Had bid farewell at the brilliant goodbyes

34. Alas for the pleasant nights of youth
If only they returned and you returned

35. You went away, and there is no longer pleasure in our life
Nor was the wine cup stirred since you left

36. So rain and shooting stars are sorrow
For the estranged one, weeping for you and lamenting

37. And the yellowing of flowers and their whitening
This is a dinar and that a dirham

38. The meadow is verdant with the drops of dew
And its fragrance is redolent from its corners

39. And for passion in my heart is an ember
That remains lit in fear of parting

40. Will I then see their encampments in the terrain
Brought near to me by the stooping camel

41. As though in the confusion of travel
He rouses them, the blackish violent one

42. How often his hooves were lifted off blood
As though in his track instantly coagulated

43. They tremble at his voice and terror
As though in his forelock there is a shackle

44. O you verses, the call of one
Captivated by your most upright method

45. You gush forth like a torrent into a mind
Flooded by your brimming sea

46. I extol you for what is in you to a status
Given by neither jurhum nor 'ad

47. If you were in the age of men now gone
Who prayed for your words or were silent
