1. In the darkness ask the full moon about my insomnia
The stars know as the world knows my news

2. I stay up lamenting and drinking
My tears and shedding abundant tears for your memory

3. Until I imagine myself drunk
Between the gardens and between the cup and the lute

4. Who can I blame when the saltiness differed
When it hinted to another with a brief gesture

5. Useless so the jewels from it are counterfeit
The pearls suffice without imitating gems

6. His cheek my heart is related an amazing kinship
Both bleed from looking forever

7. And his mole a dot from theuddledness of his eyelashes
Beauty brought it from its great signs

8. It came from the eye to the cheek a visitor
And the rose suited it so it didn’t need the breast

9. Some beauties desire some of them from amorousness
Consider how the muddledness craved the nymph

10. Fate ruled that I suffer for your sake
And you got your request O Moses according to ability

11. If you deny me, it came from gracefulness
Or if you neglect me, it came from moonlight

12. I died from ardor but I falsely claim to be ill
And who blames the blind for limping

13. I will demand my right from you on judgement day
If the stars of sky are rewarded instead people

14. I am needy for bestowal you be generous with
If poverty is expelled with rhythms and destitution

15. I excelled in prosody but I fall short
From poetry in which I blame the night for brevity
