1. His tears flowed copiously with the outpouring of his weeping,
When love's devotion constrained him utterly.

2. He kept shedding tears on his cheek continuously,
Until his cheek was furrowed with its tracks.

3. He has gotten used to wakefulness, so no bed agrees with him,
Since between his eyelids and sleep came an obstacle.

4. What has love done to one broken by passion!
His sighs can be discerned among his ribs.

5. Do not listen to the words of slanderers, for
No ear has listened to their vile, false stories.

6. You have set separation over me deliberately,
Knowing full well that I cannot disobey you.

7. I praised the day we parted for its mysterious deed,
And blamed the day we came together for its foul act.

8. You offer me a drink of tears as if it were
The full moon that illuminates at its rising.

9. On her cheek you see a rose that, whenever
She reveals it, fills the world with the bloom of spring.
