1. Remember me whenever remorse sighs,
To make it burn for you morning and eve,

2. And when memory shakes the doves,
So they sing and lament in the valleys,

3. Remember me whenever desire oozes,
With a flirt or a lad or a slave,

4. And when drinking dims the minds,
So they nap while the eye of peace blinks.

5. Remember me whenever March comes around,
And falls drunkenly before you,

6. And when April gives you violets,
Yearning and melting for you.

7. Remember me whenever the moth flutters about,
To sip fragrance from the lips of flowers,

8. And when longing agitates you and surges,
Shouting in your soul - enthralled passions.

9. Remember me whenever the partridges coo,
Inebriated - their chicks at dawn,

10. And when night defeats day,
And the boughs rustle - distorted visions.

11. Remember me whenever the north wind blows,
And creeps to you, beauty of the world, from the south,

12. And when the birds awaken and flutter about,
The wine of dawn - on the breath of perfume.

13. Remember me whenever the flute trills,
And a heart flutters at the clink of goblets,

14. And when the one alive with joy is tormented,
So he weeps in melancholy and makes souls weep.

15. Remember me whenever summer comes,
Bearing good news to lovers,

16. So each girl and lad come together,
And the world is peace and smiles.

17. Remember me whenever the intoxicated sleep
In the arms of soft sands,

18. And when the wave caresses the awake
Around those stern rocks.

19. Remember me whenever your brother appears
In the lazuli heavens at night,

20. And when you confide in him and reveal your heart,
In the stillness of night, O Layla, why not.

21. Remember me whenever autumn comes,
Strewing what spring has composed,

22. Greeting each elegant and gentle one,
Obliterating all that’s beautiful and new.

23. Remember me whenever you soar at dawn,
And your soul roams in the world of imagination,

24. Remember me, my girl, Lord of memories
That brought us closer despite the nights.

25. Ah, O love, I never doubted weariness,
The cup overflowed, so pity my state,

26. A fate God Almighty has wielded,
Severing the right and leaving no left.

27. O this night and frightening silence,
Renewing agony in my diseased heart,

28. Where is my guitar, my cup and beloved,
My candles, my boon companion and my love songs?

29. O pastimes of friends on those sands,
Since you deserted me in a bitter life,

30. I’m gloomy but I have no trickery,
Ah, my longing until the final day.

31. If I die, I bid you farewell, O youths,
A poet who laments the youth of the soldiers,

32. Wretched as I, torn by wolves,
So he became, from anxiety, in Hell.

33. O friends, the bitter cups of youth
Lit the fire of sorrow in my ribs,

34. So when my imprisoned soul is unleashed,
Bury with me my cup and guitar.

35. So pant, O soul, and roar, O hell,
Be disturbed, O mind, and wander, O hope,

36. And flow, O tear, and come, O warner,
And weep, O heart, and hasten, O death.

37. And scream, O wind, curl up and crumble,
And frown, O goblet, and bewilder, O moon,

38. And come bid farewell before the journey,
A nightingale that fate has clipped its wings.
