1. I am content with what You decree and judge for me
Whether I am disgraced and banished or honored and rewarded

2. If my heart is in Your hands to lead
Then I have no control over it in love

3. And my soul's survival is in Your hands
You give it life with union or death with separation

4. And You are to the ardent lover fire and paradise
With distance he suffers or with nearness he enjoys bliss

5. I have a liver that melts when You are mentioned
And a heart aflame with the fires of love

6. If what I have for You was like lightning it wouldn't flow
Nor would the clouds accompany it weeping and smiling

7. O Watcher of the horizon's stars in the night's darkness
And closer to my eyes than sleep are the stars

8. I still hide love from every critic
While the tears of passion reveal what he conceals

9. Passion clothed me in the garb of sickness but
When one's love is pure nothing makes him sick

10. O You whose nature is beautiful deed
And from whose generosity love learns

11. And from whom people relate every wondrous tale
Inscribed on the page of time and painted

12. If You do not have mercy on my humility in love
Then who will sympathize with me and have mercy?

13. By God, among the living there is no living one who has not
Attained Your approval and been touched by grace and bounty

14. And before You adorned me with every blessing
It was as if it and I were bracelet and wrist

15. You opened for me the door of acceptance and approval
So why is that door barred from me?

16. If I had a soul that betrayed You in love
I would voluntarily leave it and not regret

17. I would leave my family consoled with Your approval to sorrow
And surrender my soul into Your hands and surrender

18. But by Him who has made my heart miserable and led me
And even in that misery made it enjoy bliss

19. You are the wish of my heart, the joy of my thoughts
The object of my hopes even if I am deprived
