1. If only I knew
What bird

2. Hears the sorrows weeping
In the depths of hearts

3. Then does not cry out at dawn
With the lamentation of grief

4. In humility and melancholy
I do not know

5. What has silenced
The sparrow from me

6. Could it be that feeling
Has died throughout the universe

7. Even in the birds' nests
Or did it cry behind the clouds

8. In the fog
As I confide

9. In the hearing of the grave with my sobs
And my anguish

10. Then I listen closely
To hear the echo of my moaning

11. I see my voice alone
So I call out

12. Oh my heart
The one you love has died

13. And this grave has taken the beloved
So cry, oh heart, with what is in you

14. Of melting sorrow
Cry, oh lonely heart

15. My heart is humiliated
My love has died

16. So shed, oh dewdrop of the night
The flowing tears

17. Around my love, for he has
Bid farewell to the horizons of life

18. After tasting the flames
Mourn him

19. And wash him
With the tears of dawn from

20. The cups of lily flowers
And bury him with majesty on

21. The banks of sunset
So that the soul of the beloved may see
