1. O my companions, my cup is sweet,
And love to me has become clear,

2. It arose in silk,
Its light fills the night,

3. It is true to its appearance,
My heart, I have nothing left.

4. It came to my secret, and on
The platform of mystery arose,

5. My cup never passed landmarks,
Except sweetened,

6. It never made me cheap,
Except it became expensive.

7. To me after estrangement,
With kindness it excelled,

8. If it said give me advantages,
I would not say no, by God.

9. With it all of me is infatuated,
Since the era they said yes,

10. Ancient truths,
Descending clearly,

11. By the Lord and God, it
Has fascinated wandering dreams,

12. The night of estrangement afflicted its body,
And for the gazelle, it did not afflict.

13. My love which fascinated me,
The mysteries of beauty rejoiced,

14. If the gazelle knew its affair,
It would flirt.

15. And the house and pillar,
Dew dripped from its meadows,

16. I did not deviate from its door,
Even if distress afflicted me,

17. And I did not hope for another,
Even if time afflicted me.

18. O delight of the eye, do not
See my miserable state,

19. If you wanted to kill me with estrangement, no power nor might but God’s.
