1. Do you see me without a watcher
One day with no suspicious companion?

2. I complain loudly of my troubles
Of all the sorrow I have known

3. If medicine could help my body
I would tell the doctor of my pain

4. And this love-sick, wounded heart
Is left with only sighs and weeping

5. The donkeys have filled up his side
So what hope remains for the stranger?

6. Have mercy on a wandering heart
That has never been filled up

7. Memories blow through it
Like the wind blows through a wine jug

8. Bringing it to life, then fading
As the soul feeds on false hopes

9. On the day we parted it was torn
So cease lamenting torn garments

10. It played with my patience till it folded
And I shuddered at the flowing tears

11. Leaves fell at night for my misery
On a branch still moist with dew

12. Weeping a thousand as they tumbled
Swept away by pitiless fate

13. Greetings to the southern spirits
Who carried the scent of the beloved

14. Where can I find a liver that can bear
The soft breeze from the south?

15. By God, O guide of the camel
When you reach the hill

16. Stop there for the doe has perished
On the barren wind-blown plains

17. Bearing the burdens of passion
Swaying like the branches of a cypress

18. Always driven by the madness of love
And its whips and angry threats

19. A moon whose tears count
The pain of so many rebuffs

20. Whose glances make hearts
Quiver like frightened does

21. Giving life and death with a glance
From eyes flashing with rage

22. Frowning reveals his displeasure
To the watcher's prying eye

23. While his eyelids hint
Mankind is dust in the balance

24. Love and indifference both
Are clear to the wise

25. When I gave him the cup
Of reproach at sunset

26. He softened just as
The branch bends before the storm

27. And made excuses for his sins
Of abandonment and hurtful neglect

28. To revive the days of unity
When tribes come together

29. The moment now is purer than my tears
And truer than old allegiances

30. My devotion was clear when he left
To my homeland and family like a stranger

31. And the full moon's fate is to wander
From zenith to the horizon's edge

32. O heart whatever remains in my being
Is naught but burning embers

33. Misfortunes have changed my comfort
To tatters in a moment

34. O heart since you are despairing
Can you see into the future?

35. Have patience, perhaps the Lord
Of the Throne will send relief soon
