1. This morning has smiled
And erased the gloominess of darkness

2. And unlocked the lips of buds
From the weeping of dewdrops

3. And thunder dictates and rain
When it is understood, it harmonizes

4. And lightning writes it
On the clouds without a pen

5. So it's as if with my eyelids' tears
It takes away what was destined

6. Woe and pain
Deserve only wine and melody

7. So drink and stop complaining if fate
Was fair or unjust

8. The dilapidated structure
Whose parts have been worn by time

9. No one knows who its builder was
Or who dwelled in it before

10. It existed before
Existence emerged from nothingness

11. Mix your wine for only the blended
Is fit to be imbibed by the dignified

12. I mix it from the tears
Of my eyelids with blood

13. Of my impartial and unjust
Opponent who is also the judge

14. No sooner did he see me
Crying from love than he smiled

15. The glance of the eyelids, though languid
Tempted with its sickness

16. Never does the heart's passion for him
Increase, whether joined or separated

17. I have not obtained from my anguish over him
Except disgrace and accusations

18. Nor has love ever walked
In doubt towards me, not one step

19. He has never ceased being my guardian
Of chastity or generosity

20. Oh you who sleeps the whole night
An eye that did not sleep ransoms you

21. I have forbidden myself sleep and made
Death lawful for me, and no sin in that

22. And your specter has prevented
Me from even visiting in dreams, else I would not have suffered

23. How can I reach your imagination
When it is forbidden game

24. Passion has ruled what you decreed
And did not judge what it ruled
