1. O beauty, O beloved, O our symbol
In sleep I saw you, O intimate of ours

2. O could it be we are on the beloved's mind
Just as he is constantly on ours

3. O could it be we are on the beloved's mind
Unique beauty among all people

4. O beauty I saw you, this is my fate
O intimate of the heart from the days of youth

5. O gentle figure, O fragrant branch
O one with a tail like the wings of a raven

6. God is All-Knowing, God is Witness, God is Watchful
I have tasted agony in your separation

7. Unlike all lovers, my matter is unique
God give me patience and have mercy on my state

8. God give me patience for this ordeal
O one with moles, beauty marks, and dreams

9. It seems we have tasted ordeal in your absence
Oh if only you could hear my crying and wailing

10. O one with kohl lined eyes that have faded
The eye of the coy one in whom the wick of passion was lit

11. O one with braided and dangling locks
Above expectations, the long and towering

12. Have mercy on your people, O Pinnacle
In your glance, O our wealth and symbol

13. In your glance, O gazelle, O gazelle of supple breasts
O one with black locks, O sweet of cheek

14. Worry about me soon, O rose of roses
O moon of April, O gentle affection

15. O one with anklets and bracelets and beads
Your scent, O my wish, is pleasure and joy

16. Above the garden of the chest, the pomegranate buds
That would cure the sick one lying on the pillow

17. If your separation is prolonged, nothing remains but embers
Before us, O pride of ours

18. Before us, O pride of my sorrowful heart
Many years have passed among the years

19. If there was ever a lover like me
God help them pass the time

20. See how they spent their lives in sorrow
Like me, they tasted humiliation

21. But my passion has not subsided over the decades
Nor have they recounted these worries and sorrows

22. If you would have mercy on the state of the weary distressed one
Reply to the letter and answer our speech

23. Reply to the letter and answer our talk
O perfect in appearance, O full moon of perfection

24. Go, O our messenger, before nightfall
Tomorrow morning like the blowing of the breeze

25. To the Levant’s lands, and tell me why
Go from me for the generous one

26. O my messenger, return your knowledge to me
See me, O Tarshi, destitute and hopeless

27. Say, the intimate of love sends you greetings
And kisses you from afar, O our messenger
