1. May God unite me with the one I love
My heart longs for him

2. He is my remedy, my cure
His image resides in the pupils of my eyes

3. They say, if his heart returns to us
Oh so-and-so, you will be reunited

4. As for me, by God's truth
I stand by my vow and have not wavered

5. My heart is in love, so how can I speak of it
For it has long been enthralled

6. When the breeze blows, it reminds me of him
Drawing him wherever it blows

7. Leave the lover be, and the one enthralled by him
For yearning has overcome him

8. Do not prevent him from drinking his fill
If his beloved is his cupbearer

9. Come, my friend, come with him
For the anklets' bells have rung

10. His beauty is enough, perfection upon good character
Nothing diminishes it, save his lack of sympathy

11. Whoever saw him became enamored
He surpasses the moon in brilliance

12. Since I saw him, my eyes have wished for him
My tears flow ceaselessly

13. O people, his love is an obligation upon me
For I have not found passion in another
