1. I see you seeing my state, yet you show no mercy
Do the slanderers prevent you or do you not know?

2. Or is the situation known, but you fear
Blame from people, so you do not speak

3. Or blame is subdued, but in your time
Love's union died at night, so mercy perished

4. My love, you neglect to look at me, you have killed me
As if you don't know that I am determined

5. My love, by denying consolation you have let me down
As if you didn't know that I'm infatuated

6. My love, if I suffer harm from you
I neither complain nor act unjustly

7. Until the matter proceeds fairly
And the judge of love judges between us

8. If I'm proven guilty of a crime
In love, with my soul and wealth, I'm convicted

9. And if I unjustly attribute an injustice to you
To take my due, I will follow you

10. So I present my condition to you pleading
Perhaps by delivering loyalty you may honour me

11. My love, there has arisen between us a horde
Extremely stubborn and obstinate

12. Intent on cutting off connection, hostile
If your enemies blame you, do not imagine

13. That I am, as they said, without virtue
And my deeds corrupt belief

14. I swear I'm not like what they claim, for I
In whose chastity love itself speaks

15. The envious have indeed changed my excellent character
My righteous structure in my youth is solid

16. I was brought up in the cradle of youth purely
As if I were Jesus and youth were Mary

17. I began, so I manifested gentleness in love
As if I were light and density were darkness

18. With my excellent adherence to righteousness and love
I surpass Adam in assembling excellences

19. And if my words are few describing my heart's purity
My silence conveys the meaning of my speech

20. For at every moment I ascend to the heights
My state changes for the better, a ladder

21. The words of the vulgar are false when I hear them
They would destroy the structure of loyalty, and you will regret

22. The edifice of slander in love passed by me
And how could I rebuild it when it knows my condition?

23. Your pure youthful love is tied to me
It appeared, so if I concealed it, conceal it

24. For neither can you hide your beauty
Nor I conceal my youthful nature, I'm not able

25. I presented my condition to you, waiting patiently
Oh, if only I had perished while the matter confused me!

26. I stayed up at night in anguish, returning hostile
Oh, if only while distressed, I were mute!

27. You wronged me by neglecting me
So how can I dispute when the intermediaries blame me?

28. You erred by thinking I deemed you my visitor
And in prevention and prohibition, transgressed

29. My love, if in explaining my affliction to you
I was wrong, by the right of intimacy do not blame me

30. I lived and was blessed with what you willed
With your satisfaction taking precedence over all I request

31. The path of my righteousness was lost in my extreme confusion
You, by guiding the situation, surely know best

32. My life and death are in your nearness and affection
Deliberate my condition, to you I submit

33. I loved you not out of ignorance, I knew of my error
I loved you for the causes of perfection it fulfills

34. My love, with this beauty, kindness and tenderness
Duty to piety is incumbent upon you

35. Thank the Lord of the worlds, and after Him
Prayers of the Messenger concluding prophethood

36. Bringer of good tidings and warner, perfect and fulfilling
Noble Prophet, honoured and praised

37. For the betterment of consequences in the dominion
My supererogatory prayers always invoke blessings and peace upon him
