1. You were distressed that the turns of fate scattered them
And they collected the separation with the pledge they hung

2. So I stood watching them when hope arose
That they would pause or waver for an hour and quench their thirst

3. With a glance the distant person raises to it
Before the eyes when the eyelids were overflowing

4. And they were roused by an ardent intent that drives them
To the furthest extents of their passion when they set out

5. When they surmounted the ridge of the noon mirage bearing them
The kith of morning and when they went down they drowned

6. In a house of sand where the mirage flows through it
When the surface of the desert flashes hot

7. And a steadfast companion with whom I was brought up
From a slumber while he in it was extinguished, limp

8. A traveler whose bed the earth made into a halt
To which his composure and neck submitted

9. He inclined aside and did not slip out of his innermost
Like a drove turning away from the sins of the stretcher torn

10. As if he were a drinker who savors its delight
With wine or strangling the innards choked

11. So I stood to tell him about the rain I did not see
While I, distressed for him, was sleepless

12. Sad, glorifying in a north wind
Crowned by the turbid water freed

13. When my boon receptor of renewal turned
To its sequences from its envoys composed

14. The night held back until its blamer said
To the guide star or its appearance knocking

15. Until when the westerly view ran blood
From the redness of the sun when the horizon assassinated it

16. It cast upon the lair of anklets its sparks
And its fires blazed and its kindling flashed

17. A fire which the firewood takes back to its grandmother
And the fire climbs logs so they catch flame

18. And he spent the night weeping to the Goat star its loss
With his bellowing when Aquarius was set boiling

19. Crying to regain honey which he had squandered
With a copious draft from it and panting

20. The interior of no valley poured is sated by its flooding even if
None but a fool is tempted

21. The runnels of the valleys dripping which the summits
And the slopes stream

22. It almost rises upward then the deceptiveness of phenomena overcomes it
And the valley because of it is deluged

23. When it turns from an aversion of purpose
A winding depression with two sides tunneling calls it

24. A jujube tree it has valleys called after it
By their conjunction from it chalk and gravel

25. So from its pebbles the pure and in its sides
With the scum and from it the settling thick

26. Clinging to the retainers of the earth, diminished by it
He almost repels the raven of the sword bowing

27. A day he takes shade under the noon mirage making it
A refuge, atop the brushwood ascending then descending

28. As if he were an evil old man shedding his garments
Bare of armpits, blameworthy, by it feeble
