1. My master, I am ardently in love with you
Amid worries and longing I am plundered

2. My intercessor with you is that I'm a lover
And I've always loved those who don't love back

3. Love has made me sick and thus destroyed me
With lasting sorrow that doesn't go away

4. I have no intention to comfort my soul
For what it saw, nor do I have a heart

5. My patience is gone and hopes betrayed me
Lies that delight those who pour out tears

6. Except I was relieved by the words of the critic
It's worry upon my heart and distress

7. The blamers blamed you and said
No blame upon one who loved the likes of you

8. You have a reddish cheek, smooth
A mouth of sweet conversation, fresh

9. A forehead where beauty glistened
Like a new moon unveiled from its wrap

10. Fluttering, pleased eyelids
Whose feminine speech is moist

11. A figure wherein the breeze takes pride
Bending the branch of the willow

12. Beauty flourished in all of you
Except my share of all that is barren

13. If love were just it would have humbled you to me this morning
Yet that was difficult from you

14. I don't call you fickle, rather I avert
My teary eye from you as it pours out

15. You counted love for me as sins
If so, then the beauty of your face is the sin

16. Will time order pardoning between us?
No use has been attained, no weeping fulfilled

17. You wronged me like your wronging gray hair
Until my head grayed and the call to white hair a cause

18. Thirty took from me the garb of youth
And after that white hair had the spoils

19. It brought anxiety to my head in the form of gray hair
Not recompensed by the steeds of vanity and gray hair

20. If he traveled intentionally to Damascus
And folded up like the setting sun in the west

21. Then for my heart wherever his mention turned
And for my eye wherever its goal inclined

22. The good opinion of the minister replaced him
Thus he is for generosity and noble deeds the lord
