1. O neighbor at the Yemeni Institute
When will we meet and when will we be close?

2. Estrangement and distance have overtaken me
And what is enough for me has befallen me

3. A gazelle that gladdens social gatherings
And delights souls and sights

4. Surpassing the beauty of gazelles in prosperous lands
Whose famed beauty has captivated me

5. From the family of Taha and the family of Yasin
And the west side and Mount Sinai

6. Do you know, O master of beauty
What I suffer and endure?

7. By Allah, O beloved of beauty
Delicate in description and charm

8. Show compassion with nearness and union
To the confidant of expectation and delay

9. For passion has taken control in love
And what was destined has fully occurred

10. And Allah knows what is here and what is there
And news, my friend, is not like seeing

11. This adorable gazelle, kohl-lined
How good, gentle and beautiful it is

12. It remains confused by me in its love
For long periods of time

13. It would not harm him if he had reached me
With a visit that brings the dead in me to life

14. And had not disappointed my hopes
Making the envious and maligners gloat

15. A gazelle dwelling on the slopes of its horses
Grazing the meadows and valleys

16. I have no means to meet it
Except what has led me to the truth

17. The caller to guidance, success and righteousness
The imam of the people of truth and prosperity

18. Ocean of dew, generosity, and leniency
Muhammad, singled out for the Quran
