1. Is he my friend or my beloved
Who consoles me when others abandon me

2. He has captivated me, and I am his captive
It suffices that he is noble and I am lowly

3. His morals have quenched my thirst
From it comes happiness and from it comes joy

4. The ropes of the beloved have descended and been untied
So the mornings and evenings are pleasant because of him

5. And to my supplies he has added what I missed
For a long time, though arduous was that journey
