1. The night has added to me the length of contemplation
And worry - when will tears begin to pour down?

2. And the lovesick said, "You've changed after us."
Yet, does one who makes a pact not change?

3. Illnesses have recurred in my body, leaving
Nothing for the visitor except the embroidered shirt.

4. Indeed, many a cup I have preceded in drinking
In the morning, like a splendid star inclined to rise.

5. And the Pleiades have inclined until it is as though they are
Beyond falling stars in an abyss.

6. Delicate and graceful upon a swaying litter,
Amusing themselves between a tambourine and blossoms.

7. And I said to the leg of the wind, "Do not uproot it
With water and sorrows with your blowing - uproot!"

8. "And do not water me this year's wine, for it
Is as it is on the cluster - it has not changed."

9. Recently plucked from the branches and from the earth
And from drinking the flowing Euphrates' water.

10. And a night embroidered with stars - I've torn it
Until its dawn - torn like an embroidered cloak.

11. And oh envier, whose heart is scorched by yearning,
When he sees him riding amidst an army.

12. Peruse the people of this world, is there for him
A peer you see? Strive and ponder.
