1. Has not the time come for the heart of an ardent lover to be sated,
While tears flow from his eyelids though he thirsts?

2. An eye has struck him that sheathed the blade of his connection,
And the heart of passion is what was once a protected heart.

3. I love a beloved I do not name out of awe,
And hiding passion is more painful for the heart.

4. I am jealous of my love for him, so how can I not
Be jealous of anyone else and declare innocent?

5. I stay up suffering from the heat of my sides,
And between my eyelids is a tear that does not dry.

6. I see him in my heart every day and night,
Even though I am deprived of the visitation of union.

7. A letter came to me from him. I stood up for his right
And here I am, crying as much as I was able and reading.

8. O he whose love took hold of my hearing and sight
And my heart - what refuge and sanctuary do I have from him?

9. Help me with a single day of meeting you
For I will be satisfied with a day of meeting you.

10. I console myself from you with connection and consent,
And who can grant me that, which is blissful prosperity?
