1. Whenever adversity deliberately crosses your path
And goes beyond you, it has not gone beyond

2. The age was best when the full moon rose in it
With a small price of stars to be ransomed

3. So if you make the age spacious with blame
With your survival, I make the age spacious with praise

4. Of all people, I have a thousand with whom I am bored
And when you are absent, I find no substitute

5. O rod that intoxicates with joy and guides
And I see it intoxicating with worries and fervor

6. Do not diminish with sorrow the water for a cheek
As long as it has been watered from your clouds

7. No, and do not cry, for I will ransom
You with my tears, a tear for a tear and a cheek for a cheek

8. I strung a necklace of kissing your cheeks
But your tears scattered the necklace

9. You, lost, fend off the ecstasy of the soul
So why have you succumbed to worries?

10. I wanted you to fend off and from your sorrow
This made you unable to fend off

11. So let some of your most ardent lovers
Really, rather the most lost, suffer this worry

12. It is more fitting to make sorrow your slave
Every master the beauty has enslaved

13. O gazelle who sang morning and night appeared
And crescent that rose and full moon that shone

14. The season of roses came upon us and by my life
I always have your cheeks as roses

15. So respond to redeeming his right with a gathering
That makes the promise a cash substitute from the one comforting you

16. Do not blame me for loving you, for with me
Is what has left no excuse for you
