1. Once sang to me, then sang twice hastily
And bid youthful hopes farewell and they vanished

2. Suns shone in the sky of my youth
Loves, but when they set, they sought setting

3. Smiles of bliss on fresh lips
Assailed by night with recurring afflictions

4. It left in my bosom despair stretching afar
Turned into an incurable disease in my heart

5. So if life has deceived anyone, then I
Have borne life’s heavy burdens

6. When my soul aspires to bliss, it
Knows that bliss is difficult to attain

7. I used to think life gives joy to abstinence
But this mind has now become rational

8. Oh misery of knowledge, how humble
Oh bliss of ignorance when exalted

9. When misery accompanies minds
The ignorant remain dependents upon bliss

10. I excuse a learned brother whose knowledge emigrates
Who forgets his origins to enjoy comfort

11. So these people remain victims of a tireless wolf
Who repeat the outspread hide again as mountains

12. And whoever does not adapt to its crooked livelihood
Its straightening becomes a calamity upon him

13. I lived my times heedlessly receiving
My bliss and misery from it however sustained

14. Nights where the days squander on a tender visage
It is time that gives at random right and left

15. I loved you sincerely, oh happiness, and I was not
Suspicious that love lies blatantly

16. Until emotions carried me to you
Cast by my heart, the events arrows

17. Among the people are those whose hearts love does not enter
Who waste their nights in tedium and boredom

18. Because the soul’s nourishment is the nearness of a sweetheart
Who helps against the assault of time lawfully

19. Love is the light of life, it ebbs, so
The light of life and state have ebbed

20. If the one you love is hostile
You reap in discord, paradise and ruins

21. My ardour is a graceful, delicate, blossoming stalk
Agate, and a face that launches beauty

22. And hair that is as though the sun stretches its rays
As latticework upon the cheek of morning and ropes

23. And two blue eyes whose brightness polishes
The sky of a spring in which stars twinkle

24. I fell for a disposition no constitution matched
To be found in the person of the sweetheart completely

25. So my soul and your soul in love did not blend
And love became impossible for me in you

26. You pride yourself on beauty I am its captive
And you have a throne by which you are exalted

27. If a beauty prides herself on her beauty
Since when do women seek men?

28. What pride is there for drink in its cup
If that drink is not pure?

29. Passion for you has no limits and I exhausted
The calamities descending one after another

30. And I made my heart sincere in its love for you
So my share was agony and chastisement

31. And I became who I am not, a rogue
Who wastes hopes and is in the worst state

32. And I tear a heart wherever passion dragged me
Dragging the tails of events for prolonged periods

33. I scolded my heart about the workshops of people
For they had constrained it without range

34. And I said to my hopes, “Restore life, for it is
A living thirst that befell ruin"

35. And I enjoyed my body pleasures for a while
Squandering morals and wasting money

36. So I returned while my heart hates and avoids
And I attained no more than humility and weariness

37. What a miserable life for those who patiently bear harm
They befriend time with afflictions and still

38. They have been deprived of hopes, is it odd if
They become, their faces marked with deprivation?

39. So do not wait for the return of joy, just
Take life with fighting and living as struggle

40. Anticipate attaining wishes even if
What you hope for is insignificant

41. So I faced adversity completely
Uniting it in the saddlebags of recurring news

42. I live because death has neglected me
And I laugh so as not weep with confusion

43. I carried the concerns of love until
Its habitual visitor made my strength perforated, and I became a specter

44. And I became an emblem of misery embodied
And I became the quintessence of misery exemplified

45. And who I love remains prosperous
Happy in life wandering coquettishly

46. When I stand complaining I see no sympathizers
And people say I have exceeded and exaggerated

47. So I changed love's flowers into thorns afterward
And I changes from the light of life into shadows

48. And that dawn has become a darkened night
And those gardens have become sands

49. Shall I remain thus until death? And maybe
If I die, I won’t distress family?
