1. By the right of the one, O my wish
The greatest of your charms upon me

2. Do not be angry, for it was not
My crime while awake

3. Yes, I dreamed that I
Had attained my utmost desire

4. And that the heart of my beloved
Was passionate in love for me

5. A sin I committed
Oh, what a crime of mine!

6. But it occurred
My lady, in my heedlessness

7. And I will make up for it
From sleep, O my queen

8. Rather, forgive his sin
For it is my path

9. For were it not for him, I would not have
Attained from you a glimpse

10. Or dreamed of loving you, and this is my wish
Does a sane mind hope for your love awake

11. And how can my gaze reach you, O my affection?
Weeping preoccupies me

12. Awake from looking at you
O angel of my slumber and keeper of my eyelids

13. I call but you are aloft from me and absent from my thoughts
And cast over my eyes from your bounty the most blissful drowsiness

14. That perhaps yesterday's dream may appear to me this night
What marvels I see in that stillness

15. And what a scene appears to me in that suddenness
I see with the eye of the soul what intoxicates me with astonishment

16. My rapture cannot be described by the tongue of language
And the abode I dwelt in

17. Has become the heaven of the spot
With no reaching the heaven before the day of the blast

18. And it is said that sleep is truly the twin of death
So for your sake I became, my love, my death or my sleep

19. I hope to taste through seeing you some sweetness
For the sweetness of meeting you in your loftiness is beyond me

20. I see you have frowned at me, O my princess
As if you deemed too great for me attaining that bounty

21. If my sin in my slumber deserves punishment
Your mercy suffices me for what I see of my agony awake

22. For all I witnessed
Of bounty and bliss

23. Was but a dream
That passed in a blink

24. And I gained from its beauty
Only a semblance of a glimpse

25. And you see in what I have recounted
Of my tale a crime

26. But I committed it in my heedlessness
Would that you knew what I feel

27. When your image passes me in my rest
Since your specter began

28. Not to pass me in my sleep
My disquiet, pain, regret, and loneliness

29. Suffice me as punishment
I receive while awake

30. O my wish, O my mercy
O my bounty, O my bosom friend
