1. Their traces I see nought but wishes
Desolate after what were revelries

2. Like words devoid of dwellers
So my longing for those meanings!

3. To them I returned with brave tears
I return on patience coward

4. What's to man but heat of fire
If he attains not the cool of gardens?

5. And a seat of bliss I turned my eye
Upon its court but praised not my condition

6. Nor a comrade but for unfaithfulness
May God give him of what he gave me!

7. My comrade, I saw you no true friend
When your affair was other than mine

8. So what is this your place of lands
You knew the countries by it my place?

9. She turned away from myglance and I see her not
And sickness made me turn away so you see me not

10. And it reminded me—no, by love I forget not—
Trysts a Ghulshan branch, Ghulshan branch

11. And a garden revealing to me faces
And birds informing me of dwellings

12. Would that time might pass upon us
Like the fidelity of place passing time

13. What wonder in one who weeps for one who
In you harbors other than caprice?

14. Wind up and deposit the perils, a grief
Remembrance concealed them from me, no concealed me

15. It stays over time, and if my life span
Were fulfilled, it would stay sans time

16. So oh my regret and dark of nights
And my darkness this day in youth of life!
