1. The lovers have awoken from sleep and parted from passion,
While my tears keep flowing relentlessly.

2. All is lost unless your glistening tears can fulfill a wish,
With lightning flashing from the clouds that gather.

3. Grant it like something that never was, or like a traveler
Leaving home, or one buried in the graves.

4. Should I despair if the abode of bliss is far away,
Or that an untamed heart has flown like a bird?

5. By my life! Neither I confided my secret, nor did she,
Fearing our hidden thoughts would spread.

6. Nor did my eyes address her with a glance,
Lest the watching eyes discern our whispered longings.

7. Rather, I made my gaze a messenger between us,
Conveying what timid hearts struggle to express.
