1. Are your tears a downpour or is your heart hardened?
Is your longing fallen or is your body erect?

2. After plucking, fingers on the lute
And for old age, there is moisture in your freshness, or is it engraved?

3. Alas! But a sanctified breath
I smell the soil of Paradise thus I landed

4. I saw the image of the sandal, the sandal of Muhammad
So I inclined and I have none but his memory as my carpet

5. I tore the veil of the seven from the beauty of his face
I saw him in the Lote Tree of the Endpoint walking

6. I saw an image, if seen as I saw it
The stars of nightfall and the jet-black night would be combed

7. It is the secret of the Pleiades that it is a foot but
It is not the secret of the Pleiades that it is ever a necklace

8. Lo! By the father of that image, for it is
The apparition of the beloved, and for the apparition there is a portion

9. If it is not it or resembles it, then it is
Its brother in moderation, like the comb is moderated

10. I see its kissing like ablution, rewarding
So I kiss it until I say, be adorned

11. It is nothing but a burning and passion
In my heart it has a portion and in my tears a downpour

12. I cast distress into tears and patience into anguish
Alas! That it will not be extinguished while its kindling is ablaze

13. It will be extinguished on the Day of Resurrection
At the Basin, when given the cup to drink

14. A sinful servant spreads out, though he
Loves the Messenger of Allah, rightly for him is the carpet

15. Upon him is Allah's peace, no critic argued
Nor for him did lightning flash or dots drizzle
