1. A branch whose splendor is like the full moon
Separation and distance have been prolonged, who can be patient?

2. My heart is water, his is rock. O people, look
And listen to my story, intercede for reward

3. I am in life a symbol of lovers
With the flag of love flying freely above my head

4. Tell those whose rain of affection has been scarce that my tears flow more abundantly
In my cheeks, my tears are a river whose water is Kauthar

5. O you whose beauty is transcendent, separation from you is unbearable
You are matchless, like a gift never created before, you are the light of dawn

6. You are the full moon when it rises in the darkness of night
In your eyes is magic for your lover, in them is charm

7. The mole on your cheek is like camphor
You are formidable in your glory like a sword

8. Everything precious is for love of you, O houri
It’s as if my body is a slender twig about to snap

9. And my tears are melting gum that scatters
You are the essence of gazelles in love. O transcendent beauty

10. How did you slip away from Heaven and its palaces?
Is it your grace that makes you seek the Merciful and grants me safety?

11. My night of separation is like a month, how can I not stay up?
O prince of singers, long has been the description of love for you

12. So gain reward from the One praised
I praise rhyme and prose, all gratitude

13. Every hardship is eased by His grace. O people, be thankful.
