1. God has gathered my family near me
After they were scattered, O my soul that I sacrifice

2. And my sleep has returned after insomnia plagued me
My eyes and I was changed from its delights to wakefulness

3. And my heart had been absent when I was away from my body
And I inherited worries that shredded my liver

4. And I was the warmest of all God's creation
With an eye and the longest in my loneliness extended

5. So my eyes relaxed, O my soul, with your nearness
And my worries disappeared and my soul returned to my body

6. So praise be to God, the Lord of bounty, O my peace
Much praise to my Lord, forever and ever

7. My state would not have been if it were not for hardship
And the state of every hard and coarse hearted person

8. If I become meek, he prevents, and if I reconcile, he turns away, and if
I look aside he neither turns to me nor cares

9. I say, when harshness and passion have filled me:
O you whom I burdened with misfortune and misery

10. I complain of your love, and desire none but you, even if
You make me drink the bitterness of sorrows and troubles
