1. A heart filled with pain
And a body stuffed with illness

2. And an eye whose kohl is sleeplessness
And a lid whose tear is continual

3. And a heart whose passion increases
Whether they unite or part

4. And a glance that examines
Our innermost secrets and conjectures

5. So the conscience is laid bare to it
Yet no word was uttered there

6. It wounds me with its eyelash
Wounds that do not heal

7. So I judge between my companions
And it revives me though they know not

8. Little fairness and empathy
It is the adversary and the judge

9. It opposes my enemies
So it takes me for what they claimed

10. It punishes me without a sin
And spurns me and takes revenge

11. And I hold back my complaints
But their pearls slip out

12. I stammer them and they outpace me
And I scatter them and they string together

13. Like the tears of a bashful lover
That he suppresses and they stream

14. And the regret of a drunkard who drove away
His companions, and night recedes

15. And the clouds' eyelids weep
While the lightning's mouth smiles

16. And the dawn's army clashes with the troops of darkness
And charges and penetrates

17. It deserves my tears when
Its banner appeared in its east

18. With a radiant purity
That pours and illuminates the gloom

19. As long as it lived eras
Its body wore out from the passage of time

20. And its softness faded until
Its existence was like nonexistence

21. So I said unless you see my worry
I will resist it and it will multiply

22. If you turn away from me
And neglect me and shun me

23. And there is no dispelling the soul's woe
Except with comfort and melody

24. So would you help me
A hot coals picker seizes the opportunity?

25. So he bowed his head shyly
Rich yet modest

26. Reproach that does not fade away
And love that does not conceal

27. So the purest fire of my longing blazed
And passion and pain increased

28. For you have realized that love is an illness
That does not diminish
