1. If his morning greeting were mine
The frown would not conceal my joy from me

2. So neither eye has pleasure in gardens
Nor heart relief away from my heartache

3. Neither fun I have become, nor desired
Absence of my beloved has deprived me of delight and comfort

4. As for my tears and eyelids, I know naught
Save that they are blood from wounds

5. My breast is straitened by tears for him
If he go or come tomorrow, he seeks a free rein

6. Secrets did not come between us
So I wrong the tears if I say "they gushed"

7. My messages resemble your trysts
That one and this one going with the winds

8. My grey hairs' ugliness has made me shun
Lest salt and pepper resemble the ugly and fair

9. Ravines of coquetry attract me not in love
Nor did mention of parting's channels flow

10. No concern, for love is a concern
Nay, renouncing while forgetting is renouncing
