Sol 5.6

  1. A phantom, about to visit his eyelid, has barred him from slumber,

    and sends forth the eye’s water, which streams abundantly.

  2. Slumber is forbidden to an eye that weeping keeps company through the night,

    and to an eyelid that passionate longing has struck and left wounded.

  3. The water of consolation is forbidden him, while longing has

    thoughts that journey toward him and return.

  4. A tormented heart encompasses affliction’s furthest extreme;

    distance has concealed from him the rebuff of his love.
