1. I blamed you, a heart that does not respond though one calling to reason with guidance appealed to hear.
When memory comes, reproach is of no use, and what was hoped for healing cannot help.

2. Blame only awakens anguish and sorrow, renewing in the heart a worn out memory.
The wounds of the heart flow when passion stirs up with it the hidden disease, so it hurts more.

3. And if the lover's heart is not healed, it is afflicted, but in blame meets its demise.
I have lost the hopes of youth, leaving my heart faint and fragmented.

4. And I spent my life lost in pain, so for a life spent in pain, lost.
I wanted in the world my complaints, and they echo in the world to me, lamenting.

5. Indeed, I had with the beloved a trust - my heart - in secret love was deposited.
Yet that trust was not kept, but it became for its loss, my soul cries out, horrified.

6. And it composes this poetry in which grief flows, as the two eyes pour out tears in sorrow.
Some souls were created ambitious for light - if missing it, they will not enjoy.

7. And it pains them in their dawns and evenings, the people closing their minds, refusing,
And darkening the feeling of hearts with hardness, so you do not see in them a place for softness,

8. Except some people suffer from some of them, and the most suffering of them are the all-encompassing conscious ones.
I braved the terrors of life for a purpose that I remained pursuing.

9. And I pleaded to God, praise be to Him, but God refused me in its existence to intercede.
I spanned a lifetime over it - if after it there was scope, I would have treated it with latitude.

10. I rejoiced and went easy - not from it am I winner, nor did I tread toward me to gain, driven.
Is the failure of effort in life an inseparable companion, and the gloom of a breast does not abandon one who sought?

11. And the frustration of hopes, and the dashing of desires, and the distancing of causes that bring one closer to hope?
They saw for ignorance prominence and glamor, and they raised it between them, so it was raised.

12. And they inverted the meaning of truth, so it was inverted, and the face of life felt safe, it turned into a horror.
And they lied until lying spread, and they claimed, so the ignorant one who claimed was convinced of success.

13. And they ridiculed the truth, so it turned away angry, and they shook the pillar of guidance, so it shook.
And I was only one among a group, when alone they gathered against it.

14. So I became in the eyes of the heavens a scholar, and in the eyes of these people, an outcast lost one.
And I walked, and in my heart were raging storms that make the gardens of life in the chest a ruin.

15. And if my beloved were safe, I would have been willingly, nay even more, obedient.
But she turned on me estranged, and turned on my heart to split.

16. So we were both in life disappointed, seeing our unity after mending, crack.
