1. Sadness has led my mount
To the altar of deprivation

2. I've been stripped of my dream
In the absence of ecstasy

3. Sorrow found me
While people slumber

4. I left my body
To be folded by sorrows

5. In the pocket of my soul
Agony remains

6. I poured into my flute
What concealment hid

7. I confessed to sighs
Whose weeping is loss

8. Worry tired me
And prosperity is delusion

9. Loneliness left me
And people slumber

10. Illness tired me
And companions shun

11. If I sought bliss, no
Path leads to contentment

12. If a wound desired me
It came without permission

13. Afflictions of disappointments
Besieged me tightly

14. Frights quenched in me
Ambers they lit

15. Sorrows bequeathed me
What fate ordained

16. Oh how dark is my light
Like a tottering building

17. My ship wanders
And my direction is failure

18. No light in the lantern
And the eye does not see

19. In my veins, illness
Has spread its harm

20. Dispersions blame me
And in the horizon I roam

21. Separation is an ocean to me
And my boat is sorrow

22. And the desire to sail
Is embezzled by hardships

23. I am the envoy of sighs
From whence I know not

24. In the morass of wailing
Fate halved my lifetime

25. The fertile escaped me
In the barren wilderness

26. My page is woe
And its ink sorrow

27. Its beginning is agony
And its text anguish

28. In my letters sighs pour
From my chest

29. Ill-fate built me
And wreaked in my prose

30. And fortune how unforgiving
Confused in my matter

31. I don't cry
At what happened or was

32. I have a human voice
And you are all human
