1. I spent the night with my side empty, not containing a bedmate
And some of the sleep I got was denied

2. Yearning tosses me about painfully as if
I were a tattered garment of passion being patched

3. I have a craving for chatting but chatting is my killer
With my tears and some death in the water soaks

4. So O you sleepers, what is the joy of friends
Don't you have a heart like mine and ribs

5. How can the eye sleep while the heart aches
And how can the heart be healthy when the senses hurt

6. It's as if passion is light; it's as if the passionate
Are planets, either veiled by night or shining

7. The light of love has not ceased in any being
But some of it is not bright for a reason

8. Not every lamp is like a shining star
Nor does every person see the rising sun glow

9. Oh how much love I have encountered alone
So how can reserve exist in the nature of the beloved

10. Isn't love just what you see of disgrace
And what is musk without it being moist

11. It's as if my heart is a flame that attached itself
To my body and fire's nature in wood is to hurry

12. I'm not alone in saying "lover"
But I'm alone in suffering

13. And in every eye there are tears, but I
More than the miserable, weep for my eyes

14. My eyes, my tears are not cheap
So why do you panic and make me panic

15. It's as if you are in every heart, so whoever cried
You cried for him while people are deceived by heat

16. Hardships have surrounded me from every side
As if adversities lie in ambush under my side

17. I'm like a small boat in hopes
Whenever it carries me it's raised to be lowered

18. Not every woman who pities a child is its mother
Nor is every one brought close to the breast a wet nurse

19. So will the world return as I knew it
And will what has passed of my life come back

20. And I have in love a sun, so when it rises
I see through it how the clouds of sorrow dissipate

21. But my misfortune is that its fate is nighttime
And who can imagine the sun rising at night

22. We're both passionate but it is love
That is flirtatious, aloof, hopeless, and hopeful

23. So if I examine what I will do today
Tomorrow comes with what I did not examine, how will I act
