1. Do I have anything but the affection of clouds as comfort
Between the sands, where its fire burns?

2. The smile of the lights at their weeping
Shows their weeping was deliberate.

3. Oh you who blame me, while my tears poured down
When the plain was empty of them.

4. You used to see my viewpoint as your viewpoint in crying
If only your night was like my eternal night.

5. The dawn horizon is blocked from us
And the star is restricted from setting.

6. Do not deny the fluttering of my heart; it is
Drunken from the wine of eyelids, confused.

7. And ask the Yemeni caravan, tired,
Where is the appointment from it?

8. With the red camel saddle, a weapon on it,
And polished teeth, the reins loose.

9. The flowers of stars fluttered jealousy
When he wore pearls as necklaces.

10. And the doves cried at dawn, unless
it were singing with its moist rod.

11. So let the absent ones know that my feelings
Are where lovers dwell, hidden or rescued.

12. Or do travelers recite between their camps,
While the craving has clung to them, what they recite?

13. The heart was lost at dawn between them but not
Found in other than those camps.
