-
Is it because of your remembrance of the neighbours of Dhi-salam.
-
That tears mixed with blood are flowing (from your eyes).
-
Or is it because of the breeze blowing from Kaazimah.
-
Or it is the lightning struck in the darkness of the night Idam
-
What has happened to your eyes, (the more) you tell them to stop, the more they continue flowing.
-
What is the matter with your heart, (the more) you tell it to come to its senses, (the more it is distracted).
-
Does the lover think that his love can be concealed.
-
While his eyes are shedding tears and his heart is glowing.
-
Had it not been for the love, you would not have shed tears at the ruins (of your beloved).
-
Nor would you become restless at the remembrance of the cypress (tree) the high mountain.
-
How do you deny love after the testimony.
-
Borne against you by (such) reliable witnesses as your yours and your illness.
-
Love has ingrained two lines of fear, and withered your face.
-
On your cheeks like yellow rose and the reddish tree.
-
Yes! Thoughts of the beloved came to me at night and kept me awake.
-
And love transforms pleasure into pain.
-
O you who reproach me, regarding my love, excuse me.
-
From me to you if you do justice, you would not reproach me.
-
My state (of love) has been expressed to you, (now) my secret is no longer concealed.
-
From those who malign (me), nor is there (something to) check my agony.
-
You have sincerely advised me , I did not heed it.
-
For verily a lover is deaf to those who advise him.
-
I regarded with suspicion the advice of the elders in reproaching me.
-
(Wisdom) in the advice of the elders is above suspicion.
