1. A garden in which dwells
My heart's only inhabitant

2. Exalted by glory
And endless joy

3. The moon like a lily
Among its blossoming bushes

4. Neither a gazelle nor a oryx
Nor the braids of Nu’man

5. They are all his servants
None can resist him

6. In all the universes
O most perfect of men, none is like this human

7. Of unmatched beauty
Glorify the Beneficent

8. O nights that have passed on the solitary dune
How often you were bright, how often dark

9. In the constellations of good fortune
How many hopes you fulfilled

10. How often you lingered with me
Yet now after them

11. I am confused and distraught
Regretful and troubled

12. Yearning for a lover who abandoned me
I cannot find a substitute for him

13. Zainab why does she
Prolong the estrangement

14. In al-‘Uqayq we parted
And bitterness we tasted

15. My body wasted away
Our Lord reunited us

16. As we once were
A wish, oh if only

17. Time would be generous
That is the sum of desires

18. And hopes and sorrows
Mount your camel

19. Do not be lazy
Then set off with it

20. Towards the Lord of ‘Adnan
