1. Your book, O Ali, visited absence
So it increased love over accustomed love

2. And I was pouring to it, O pourer
And were it not for your love, I would not have been a pourer

3. It came to me after my body had melted
And my heart had melted and intended a heart

4. So I undid its seal and it diffused a scent
And gleamed a essence and spread a pulse

5. And addressed me with a gentle meaning
And when I asked it about you, it fulfilled

6. And were it not that it gave me life for my life
My soul would have been prey to separation

7. Demanding me the nearness of passion after distance
And compensating me for the distance of union with nearness

8. O Abu Hasan, I sacrifice you from afflictions
Some enemies crept in absence

9. And forgets God whoever forgets a favor
You did to him, so your favor is more worthy

10. And remember that I, from the union of Layla
The no to me became yes, and who uncovered the unseen

11. I will commit mistakes to reach Layla
So the brother of resolves does not fear mistakes

12. God suffices me in nearness and distance
Sufficient is God, the Bestower, as Reckoner

13. My night camp is atop the curves of the mounts
And my night of travel bowed down and erect

14. And though the water is green with moss
If it lacks, I make the night a drink

15. When the free person accomplishes a resolve
He does not fear harm of justification or love

16. I remain atop the curves of the mounts
Speaking of them when the family spoke

17. Passing the master in the expanses, I busy myself
And hunt with the morning a deer and mountain goat

18. And I stir in the conscience of the night riding camels
And I remember from the love of Layla, arts

19. When the gray-haired stoked them as a youth
And my companions above their saddlebags asleep

20. The moist breeze blows so they awake
The beauties danced to us toward Layla

21. And their glances looked from behind the veils
So they made us forbidden and permitted and we circled

22. And we knew and faced the direction of prayer
And we rushed toward Tayba so we may revive

23. The Messenger of God in sincerity and love
We stopped at his planet and said

24. Beloved of God, so make us the most loving
We glorified the earth to our faces

25. And we returned them to wipe from it dust
And we said, and God is Knowing of us

26. To You, to You, we left sin
And we hope through your intercession we are saved

27. And we return with acceptance from you and are rewarded
