1. Is this the longing in my heart
That moans like one intoxicated?

2. And I weep with eyes that never cease to set,
And remain sleepless with a heart wounded by love.

3. And I suffer the pangs of passion whenever
The morning breeze blows, with the scent of wildflowers,

4. Or a whiff from a loving one.
My heart, forever tortured,

5. By the reproach of a glittering cheek,
Or the estrangement of a graceful one.

6. Oh my era marked by two digits,
May God bring you close after your departure.

7. I stay awake while my friend sleeps from sorrow,
At the lightning flashing high in the sky.

8. I spend the night like a mounted sentry,
With eyes fixed on those slopes.

9. My sorrows stirred by the singing of a lover,
And my grief awakened by the breath of wind.

10. By the One with power over all creation!
I have known them to descend upon it during appointed times,

11. My nights are nights of a roaming wolf,
And my mornings are from the face of a radiant sun.

12. They are the fulfillment of my hopes and dreams,
The attainment of my wishes and the health of my afflictions,
