1. If reason's necks could know what's inside me
You'd weep at my estrangement, not nearness to me

2. For I've not slept a night except
With my heart crazed with love of you

3. The shouting of gamblers reminds me of you
And cawing of crows reminds me of you

4. And if my soul remembers you in drink
I almost choke on that drink

5. And if the mirage raised over
Your countries, I awaited the mirage

6. And I had not distanced you by my choice
Nor was my heart estranged from you

7. By your life, I did not distance you out of boredom
But fate's course drove me mad

8. And no dust took your place for me
How could it, when you transcend dust?

9. And my companionship, in you and through you, is my intimacy
My spirit, my reverence, my turmoil

10. An abundant rain of changeable clouds
Poured over you from the dewy life

11. So you become in the meadows and slopes
Like flowers' embroideries, like needles' eyes

12. And from their changing hues in the evening
You'd think the heat lent them its changes
