1. With blushing cheeks and rosy complexion
Of splendid beauty

2. With swaying figure and soft body
In perfect proportion

3. Surpassing all in his beauty and perfection
A seducer who seduced me

4. And was my undoing
Sweet yet intense is his love, pure yet sinful

5. A nightingale he is to me, so he became mine
Yet he narrowed my life, what scheme have I now?

6. His long estrangement did not help me
To unite with him

7. So I grew weak and frail of body
Like moist clay

8. O epitome of beauty and grace leave off
Your aloofness from me

9. For estrangement is not my state, come closer
Forgive my waywardness

10. My care has been long in waiting, but
I have good hope

11. In you, so if my assumption is correct in you
Then I care not

12. For one who rebukes me, even if he rebukes me
Your love preoccupies me from he who preoccupied me

13. And all have abandoned me, so who abandoned me
I care not

14. And no one who attributes me
To disloyalty

15. Sa'di, when you are felicitous, and whoever makes me happy
Continuously

16. Layla illumines the horizon for me
Like my day

17. And I attained union with her as I desired
By my own choosing

18. I drew her braids and did not awaken
From my intoxication

19. With every vision that beholds me
The light of glory

20. With the utmost of hopes, how many hopes in it
This radiant perfection, gatherer of good

21. So many bow down prostrate and kneeling before it
It almost removed my sorrow

22. By joining me
His love is eternal, so it never left me

23. All through the nights
