1. The stages decreed one day at Kazima
That the resting of the mounts would be prolonged

2. A gleam from the ruins saddens us
Its wanderers and its inhabitants

3. Its tears outstripped with their flowing
Before the day folded them

4. And it undertook from the direction of its rain
Beyond what its undertaker hoped for

5. If I let tears flow through it
Then after today, the passion will replace it

6. I have no favor upon a ruin
Whose streaming of tears is perpetual

7. And panting of my soul that gives it breath
And problems of my tears that alleviate it

8. They were arduous so burning anguish makes it transgress and transgress
Do not seek the house after them

9. I know restraining it
And a secret sign of passion I conceal

10. Is my confusion toward rhythm overtaking it
Every day I have a loving critic

11. Who twists my debts and does not defer them
Gently with my heart O Abu Hassan

12. While you glance at the eye and divert it
I was as if with covenants of valleys and hills

13. That tribes who befriended them had departed
And pillars of passion bent

14. In ways that enrich and educate it
In the heart from you is a wound for all time

15. I continued to bandage it while it festered
How many covenants have been annulled

16. And appointments nearby you missed
As for loyalty, you delay it

17. While the loyal ones, you borrow from them
I will try to turn the soul from you though

18. Passion toward you inclines it
Often I squandered it out of boredom

19. And if I wake I will divert it
And if I sought peace through it, it refused

20. Except quarreling toward you mobilizing it
As if one who forgot it reminds it

21. Or one who disappoints it defers it
It proceeds while turning toward you

22. And longing to meet you seizes it
For your love and longing excuse it

23. And the blemish of your actions reproaches it
Will your anguish soften you

24. Or will its fervor bring you closer
So take the prime of it before

25. That youth you squander
Do not feel safe with it if I mistreated it

26. It is what you knew while you recognized it
If being submissive tempts you

27. Then being unruly will surely alarm you
And if surrendering to you ruins it

28. Then avoiding you will multiply its chastity
I will evade the confinement of disgrace through it

29. It is a room I inevitably will roof
If the wounded one is served

30. A meal, by your life, I will not taint it
He comes close to its softness out of generosity

31. And his coarseness shows at injustice
I swear by the Lord of swaying passions

32. It inspires the builder, its waving excites him
Seeking the doe of darkness when

33. The darkness falls, its guide goes astray
It attained the heights of nobility and became

34. Filled through its body cleaved in two
Starting the day on the carpet

35. From her naive carpet maker who shakes it
Surviving on a preceding breath

36. While its successor remains
And at dawn the Arabian burst forth

37. Like a bulky wrap rolled up
By the bounty its bags contained

38. And the feet that tread it recognized
I am, throughout your estrangement

39. Like the soul, secured, though you twist it
I accept and am angry in your love

40. And my devoted necks I do not turn from you
It came to you humbly hopeful

41. Expecting you would drive it away
There remained in it a saying, a creation

42. That aspires to destroy it and confuse it
I take pride that yesterday

43. Its dresser adorned it for you
And veils for shame providing

44. What remains of days to come hoarding
It makes clear to your eyes its distortions

45. Though it may have what entices you
If you take refuge from its mediation

46. Your honor is enough, be aloof
So forbid before you return

47. To bitter places it drips
And take advantage of delaying its occurrence

48. Before its awkwardness passes
Return it to regret consuming it

49. And retreat in remorse stopping it
