1. The time of intimacy has ended and passed
Carrying away what hopes I had

2. It went by like an arrow, and met another
So we drank bitterness after sweetness

3. Its memory stirred my heart
As the morning breeze stirs the nightingale

4. I still feel the passion
Kindled by the fire of those kisses

5. All that is forbidden passes quickly
If only it would walk with us slowly

6. Everything has lost its essence
That is an eternal law within us

7. Fate has robbed me utterly
Yet I did not resist fate's deeds

8. My brothers blamed me, for they were ignorant
That I was busy with their affairs

9. Shall I spend my life hoping for their affection
Between their excuse or reproach?

10. Among people I am a screaming bird
Sobbing in the ruins

11. I am that lion, anger him not
The steadfastness of the wolf at dusk

12. Oh world, is there no time
When I will meet the light of hope?

13. I leave my misery in pages
Written with my falling tears

14. Do people build illusions, or
Was I not steadfast among them?

15. Yet the like of me is not linked
The rest of man from toil and

16. Affliction is the day his term ends
