1. I complain to you of tears that gush
After longing, and limbs that wither,

2. Of desolation when separation is recalled,
On both sides yearning and sorrow.

3. It was devastated by a hand of affliction,
So it remained with no recompense or replacement.

4. Like one active from whom the springs were denied,
And the meadows kept away from him.

5. A familiarity that decreased with its completion,
The full moon is bound to become eclipsed.

6. God does not distance those who turned away,
They stopped loving us, and did not stop,

7. Which powers did they cut off, and which blood
Did they spill, and which wounds did they stitch?

8. I do not forget our stance and their stance
After longing, while our tears suffice,

9. Silent over the injustice when
Tears of sorrow spoke for us.

10. O rider of the sand dunes going down them
Like a pillar, above it shaken pods,

11. Darkness steps over its horizon
While the night blinks its eyelids,

12. Nightfall extends and folds its shirt,
And for it over the hilltops are fists,

13. Until the darkness casts off its dye
And the bosom of night lays bare,

14. Of a past when wings of night embraced it,
Folding it in its wings.

15. Convey to the youth Hamad a reminder
That would melt the egg and the crust,

16. Breaths of a suffering man whom
The heat of yearning scorched and deprivation exhausted,

17. Nothing was swifter than what time brought about
And beads dripped from our love,

18. A rope that tomorrow our palms will hold
One of its ends, and the other in the hands of destiny.

19. Is that beautiful time coming back
Or is that good life renewed?

20. Or is the rose allowed again
And does one who drank enjoy the cold water?

21. I crave that time, could
A time passed be craved?

22. After you our rope sprouted and
Each of the two minds shot an arrow.

23. The string of our harmony came undone
And we had sung when it was composed.

24. The distant one avoided our side
So no love or passion remains.

25. He avoided our sessions and it took him
To affection towards haters that turns.

26. That familiarity was removed altogether
And that kindness and gentleness unveiled.

27. He made the will under his heel
And did wrong while admitting.

28. We blame him for his fickleness,
So he is the perfidious, fleeting one.

29. Maybe one day through your nearness
We will triumph over him.

30. Past nights watered with excess
Of calamities or loans.

31. It is goaded by the whip of the wind,
A gust in its market stirs.

32.
Morning extends its tithe in trails,

33. Generously, and its ardour shakes the lid.
We call you when the group is split,

34. So reunite us when views conflict.

35. If those branches do not rise tomorrow
Among them a caller and harvester.
