1. Yes, for lovers' hearts there are eyes
That show them what can barely be seen

2. With them we saw what was before of love
So it pointed to what will come after

3. Prohibition forbade us from it, so our hearts gave in
We said, proceed though madness is perfection

4. We forgive and pardon the offense of love
When its rule is harsh upon us and we are gentle

5. We restore the limits of the bashful night after night
While eyes and eyelids assault us

6. We gentle our souls in the ways of passion
And not before passion did they become gentle

7. We obey spears over which are crescents
And sand dunes over which are branches

8. Gazelles unleashed an attack upon the lovers
With them the curves are supple and the arrows eyes

9. Arrows but the brows are firm
Swords but the eyelids are eyelids

10. They plundered the hearts of lovers and left
My body in agony, from it come sorrows

11. Patience, resident and eroded
Tears and a heart released and captive

12. We make easy the states of passion with endurance
Though the ease of lovers is anguish

13. We follow it for a time but the bond of passion
Is not with a pledge, nor is the rope of time firm

14. We think it beautiful in time though it
Is a time for breaking hearts and being deceitful

15. We seek the promises of generosity from it though to
The victorious king they are debts

16. A noble prophet whose mission is realized
To him belong opinion, revelation, and magnanimity

17. A group was saved who held fast to him
And knew the path of truth through him is clear

18. A sincere friend to him belongs strong resolve
A generous companion to him belongs sound opinion

19. A noble one, if the sea resembled his generosity
Ships would not be safe on either of its coasts

20. Ambitions warded off from him what the enemies thought
They are the army, and the army the hidden ambush

21. He slept amidst the people whose spears
Decreed in battle to not be confined

22. Stars that rise above the litters
Lions that beneath the spears have dens

23. Their souls on the day of dispute are flowing streams
And their opinions on the day of dispute are fortresses

24. We came to him from distant lands
While each has in him the beauty of hope

25. We set out to ask rain from the clouds, so his
Clouds of benevolence rained from his open palms

26. We come to you, O you whose movements
Against the kingdom are both awe and tranquility

27. We repay you with what we bring to you as a gift
So we carry the pearl of praise and it is precious

28. You have been blessed and your lands remain a paradise
So your refuge is a fortress for the weak, a fortress

29. You seized glory, generosity, honor, and sublimity
And attained wishes while time is tranquility
