1. Ask the scholars of love, about my secret passion
For I am confused, between my closeness and distance

2. Sick with love, between fear and hope
I wander to a garden, and return to a wasteland

3. I raced ahead, yet I'm alone on the path of love
Apart from both genders, shunning jinn and mankind

4. I raced ahead, yet I'm veiled for a reason
And triumph is not won with a paltry price

5. I asked you for union, though I'm not worthy of granting it
Yet the blind may covet the radiance of the sun

6. My way of complaining about you is no secret
So my tears etched my cheeks and my eyelids swelled

7. It’s all the same to me, night, sleep and sorrow
I greet the morn as I did eve, and eve as I did morn

8. My silence over the night, sleep and sorrow
I greet the morn as I did eve, and eve as I did morn

9. My silence over the veil of separation is speech
When my state speaks, there is no silence in feeling

10. I poured out my heart in tears and flooded it
Perhaps tomorrow will pass over today and yesterday

11. I indulged my soul in passion and sacrificed it
For you—without you I'd not have sacrificed myself
