فأصابت مكان غير السوادِ
If only it had missed the black spot,
If only it had missed the place of darkness
And struck somewhere other than that black spot.
And hit a place other than the darkness

It is an eye that shot one sick at heart,
It is an archer who shot the breast of separation
Unfettered in weeping, fettered in sleep,
With the free-flowing tears of one suffering from insomnia

With eyelids love-bewildered by the pain of tears,
Touching the eyelids with the pain of blood
Abased by the anguish of being kept away.
Miserable from the sorrow of estrangement

Within his entrails lie passion and burning thirst;
Inside him is passion and anguish
Because of both, visits from those calling on the sick seemed numerous.
With them I have seen many visions of return
