It is enough, my two eyes, that you preoccupy my heart,

And summon my soul to yearn for my death.
And that my soul long for my beloved

I answer sorrow with tears, though the tears have not flooded
I respond to sorrow with tears, and tears have not
My eyelids; leave aside what brings my lament no relief.
Yet flown from my eyelids, leave what will not relieve my agony

O my two eyes, I have no patience to hold back a tear.
My eyes cannot be patient, so restrain the tears
I would excuse you both, if my heart would excuse me.
I would excuse you if only my heart would excuse me
