1. Do you have some of the love that I have
I will complain to you of my state, though it is of no use

2. What I have endured has gone beyond any description
And what I have has exceeded all bounds and limits

3. If I complain to my enemies, it may soften them
And make a tear flow from hard stone

4. A sleepless night reveals the effort of its complaints
And I make great efforts to conceal it, though my efforts did not help

5. I say to the night, as it drags its train behind
And the darkness flashes like a sword drawn from its scabbard

6. Come, let me talk of my passion - you are intimate with me
Come, let me share with you the love that I have

7. Oh, if only some of what I have could be shared
Oh, if only both our complaints would ease the effort

8. A breeze blew from a perfumed breeze, bearing flowers
The zephyr was redolent with the scent of blooms

9. It spoke to my sick heart with its bitterness
And my tears expressed what I did not say

10. Oh breeze, convey my greetings
To the dear ones, more delicious than nectar

11. Whose delicate bodies have been emaciated
By yearning, recollection, absence and estrangement

12. And if the unfaithful ones ask about me, I
Abide by my pact though they break theirs

13. And though they reject and abandon me
I tend their affection as before

14. They prevent me like a thirsty man from
Attaining the water he hopes for and flowers too

15. With them I have a heart tormented by indifference
And in my ribs a heart melting because of separation

16. If I could sip a brimming cup of wine
Death would not pass by me in all its bitterness

17. I have grown accustomed to weeping, wakefulness and sickness
And my sorrows have kept me company, so faithful am I

18. I do not forget those who forgot me
Even if I remain a stranger in my grave all alone

19. I lie ill with no one to visit me
And if an army of worries comes, I face it alone

20. I falsely comfort my heart with empty hopes
And heatedly imagine empty promises

21. So I hope neither for recovery nor respite
Nor can my burning thirst be quenched by promises

22. Though I have patience for loss of comfort
I cannot endure loss of friends

23. Life is not pleasant without them
Even if I were in Paradise or the eternal garden

24. I have not failed in loyalty to the best of my ability
But time led me astray from moderation

25. I was never overpowered by the noble ones
Rather I submitted like a slave out of affection

26. My trait is nothing but love and faithfulness
And my Lord knows what I conceal and what I display

27. Has time not been unfair in forsaking me,
Depriving me of my goal, failing my support?

28. A free and noble man may find himself forsaken
As fate makes sport of the noble lion

29. The poison of nights lies hidden in its breeze
Visible to insight like venom in honey

30. The wicked attain heights through their vileness
While the noble gain nothing for their efforts

31. Let no one be fooled by its peacefulness
Or rely on its visitors and caravans

32. How many dignitaries has it disgraced through calamity!
They were full moons on the horizon of glory

33. How often it isolates a brother for no reason
Who used to be instrumental in bringing people together

34. I asked fate for a refined and noble man
To whom I would be humbly devoted, but fate was not just

35. He who seeks favor from the unfavorable
Will be rewarded with less than he deserves

36. I will spend my nights relying on Him
Who transcends all judgments, the Unique, the Unequaled

37. So no matter how far your fortune sinks
Do not sever messages to Him intentionally

38. Greetings to those I cannot endure to remember
Without being unsettled, losing possession of my heart and my reason
