1. I fell captive to love, O Janju, so who will save me
O Turkish damsel, from your abandonment I shrivel

2. Is there anything like your lips to my mouth
And to my reproachers like cloves?

3. Like honey are the words of Ala Al-Din we await
And like poison to the enemies of the faith we seek

4. Welcome guests and new crescent, so that
It brings good fortune to its rider like a saddle

5. The king of calligraphy, meaning the land, originated it
His efforts were those of felicitous union and ascent

6. If I remain in the temper of his memories, then I
From the anxiety of distance am in turmoil and in haste

7. In my innermost being a wound has been inflicted
That at first advanced then retreated from the fray
