1. You were determined, my companion, to travel
And my greatest fear is for you, so beware

2. What they say makes me despair of seeing you again
That the moon never returns

3. Be gentle with me, though you've abandoned me
Endure, I'm consumed with passion for you

4. O you who told of the gazelle in her turning
And surpassed her in charm and grace

5. You've wearied me with your distance, transgressing
So my glory is humbled but my patience exalted

6. My love begs for you
Some of that palm of yours would appease me

7. And you left while tears flowed
If they'd been shown to the rider, he wouldn't have departed

8. And my heart is broken by the separation
While the agony of passion leaves it not shattered

9. I'm confused, I hope to see you
I'm crippled, believing I'll look upon you

10. You've a body soft as water
Containing a heart made of stone

11. And a face like the crescent moon shining
Adorning that delicate branch of your neck

12. When he comes near, he is bashful
And withers when he sees you

13. If they say you've been infatuated with another
Look, for reports are not like eyewitnessing

14. Search my heart, for you dwell there
Within it none but you of mortals exist

15. See if it contains any but you
To fulfill the requirement of your satisfaction

16. As if the fires of hell deserted me because of you
Leaving none of my love behind or sparing it

17. If your utmost against me is to shed my blood
To me there is in that no trace

18. Can one who hoped in you bear destruction
And be killed while under your protection?

19. O heart, what you've suffered was fate and destiny
So be patient with the judgment of divine decree

20. For patience in the bitterness of adversity
Holds within it the fruits of victory

21. Endure the passion for him
We'll be indulged that we may look upon him
