1. Your longing called you, so the eyelids are sleepless
Shedding tears while the bond of connection is abandoned

2. What could you do as fate was victorious
Can spells bewilder in the face of suffering?

3. It has led your sleep away, and now it rests
While its heart has turned from habitual affections

4. Whenever union was sweet for any lover
He went to it, while the lover's heart was captivated

5. So my eyes shed tears, and the night drives them
To a destiny for which ruin is destined

6. O Ghadah, who distracted my heart and sent it
Calling out in yearning, protected only by talismans

7. Be gentle with a heart that ardour has slain
Deaf passions mourn over it with dirges

8. And if you refuse anything but my death with a cry
From the magic of your eyes, no spells will help

9. Night's rule has undertaken to detain my eyes
And when you execute parting, exile is ordained
