1. The sin is your sin, and vengeance is upon the wretched one
By God, I have never met anyone like you in love

2. You missed my rendezvous and went against love
And when you were angry with your most loyal friend

3. You denied my rights, claiming to be led astray
In my desire, who will judge me as right?

4. You blamed me in ignorance and did not care for my poverty
And reckoned my humility to be the flattery of a sycophant

5. You inflamed my heart while it hovered around you
Like a moth doomed unless it is burned

6. When I came to you humbly, you met me
With anger instead of pleasure, with a lowered gaze

7. So I provoked it with the goads of passion
To arouse your inclination for my attachment

8. I treated it so it would flare up in its leaps
And its leaps are like inescapable destiny

9. What has happened to it and what has happened to you that does not allow
Where did your overflowing gentleness disappear?

10. Why do I see it not exulting in a glance
While I see you have despoiled it without mercy?

11. Did you imprison it to stop its thieving? But it
Will bear burdens if it does not steal

12. Or are you busy, your head bowed down
To the earth, refreshing it with a penetrating gaze?

13. Or is my heart lost in the dust? And when, tell me
Did you observe it closely with a probing eye?

14. Or are you thinking about the state of a crazed lover
How he managed to return after being torn to pieces?

15. Or did the sight of me in the neighborhood please you
Or else you do not glance at the crazed one unless he is hanged?

16. Or are you looking at the ground wherever
It was kind to your slain victim in a narrow grave?

17. Or are you too tired, my loss, you did not walk
Moving your eyelids with smooth kohl?

18. Or did the presence of a spy between us frighten you
So you were cruel after being kind?

19. Or did you fear I would defiantly wrest your kingdom
So you saw fit to intimidate the absolute king?

20. Or are you shy because of your son that when
I asked you, I left without alms?

21. Or are you angry with me? I think it is nothing but anger
While I, the guest, glanced whether you glanced or not

22. Your eyes for a moment and shine, do not hold back
Or if not, then I am vanquished, so turn

23. Your arrows from me and take pity, do not shoot
You are not pleased with me nor I

24. Content without the bliss of your company, so be gentle
My throat yearns for your lips, so sweet

25. Sweet when speaking, alive and eloquent
I cannot forget the day I came to your door

26. Seeking kindness to cool a burning longing
And the hand of youth touched you and became

27. Quenching your thirst with my falling tears
And I succeeded with you, but did not succeed, for

28. I tasted torment from the burning intermediary
I held your waist and it recoiled from me

29. As if I gripped mercury
And I pressed your breast to mine but you were a gazelle

30. Who startled and swore we'd never meet
And if we meet now after separation

31. Relieve the heart's anguish before we part
