1. I saw a faint light in the land of clouds
It seemed weak, so I understood it was a reminder

2. It reminded me of smiles as it was guiding
To my heart, kisses like embers

3. There was a time when I loved
When it appeared to us like the moonlight

4. I saw the full moon carried on a rod
And the night of hair showed the daylight

5. So when the era of love between them passed
And she refused to visit at night

6. His teardrop flowed heavily with longing
As she was stingy to visit him at night

7. What an abundant teary downpour
Its outpouring puts the heavy rains to shame

8. When one teardrop pours, another pours down
Rushing over her sands

9. She left scars in my heart the day she left
Her tent was packed and she traveled in the morning

10. However I showed her my eyes, bidding farewell
She gestured with her bracelet

11. But this is the nature of the fair
Never honoring a neighbor throughout time

12. As if keeping a covenant were something
That brings them disgrace amongst people

13. When I toss away her sweet company
Her aloofness from me grows stronger

14. It's as if I never unveiled her
And she came to me veiled

15. Can she forget when she visited me one evening
Her robes dragging the ground behind her?

16. We parted and she turned away after union
Oh, the borrowed union of an hour!

17. When she is estranged from me for long
She restores that affection temporarily

18. She betrayed one who never plotted betrayal
And never tasted bitterness but from the sweet

19. When I see the signs of her acceptance
Gleaming in their rising

20. My heart flutters towards it, shining and soaring
As if I'm bleeding out from it into her veins

21. She reminded me of innocent love
When I clung to the flirtatious and chaste

22. None are more miserable than a lover
Who is patient with his beloved's distance

23. It is the nature of passion to weep copiously
For the beloved and home when far away

24. Yearning has filled my heart's nostrils
Since their homes became empty ruins

25. I wipe my tears bitterly
By the night watcher, and I wipe them bitterly

26. You have created in me, O Separation
A yearning for loved ones that denies me rest

27. I quell with tears the flames
That refuse, after purpose, but to flare up

28. If I don't cry for her when she's far
With my tears and lamentation

29. And days repressing my urge to weep
Fortunate brief days I was happy with her

30. Until the racing camels stirred me
To pursue them with stirrups clanging

31. I threaten them, and the enemies know
I will storm them furiously in their dens
