1. Do not fear the redness of roses
This is the rosy dawn's fantasy

2. For here, here was my farewell
And here, here I journeyed from the cheek

3. And here her mouth distanced from mine
Yet her love remains with me

4. The pebbles of the valley shed her tears
I wish those pebbles were my cheek

5. She said, be patient with my absence
And I said to her, "Farewell after me"

6. The letter Noon of purpose, O water, prevents
Reunion of patience and passion

7. Who will buy my patience for her smile?
So I can sell patience for honey

8. Or give me a respite from his sleep
To summon with it my imagination to my bed

9. Alas, my hopes make excuses for me
And the excuse of the lovesick is futile

10. O night who has adorned her stars
For people, while my bosom alone for me

11. And prepared for us the better of two moons
What was between crown and necklace

12. Return to us to return us to the honeyed melody
Curing the singer's hoarseness

13. In her mouth there is a coolness that says
When tasted by the feverish, "My coolness"

14. Her Syrian charm made for her cheeks
What the Indian charm makes for the bosom

15. I never sensed a letter Noon like her eyebrows
Sometimes bringing rain, other times shining

16. Except for Ahmed when he writes "No"
Harm is intended, nor enmity borne

17. My pride, for which I thank him
And my glory from his perfection derives

18. Bearer of men's burdens, though
Men would retire from effort

19. In his hand, a moon on a celestial orbit
And with his saddle, a lion on a bosom

20. For the summit of glory, his ambition rose
Before suckling the ruby of the nipple

21. Without him, neither my thoroughbred horses
Nor my garments on my skin

22. O you who circumambulate the house of my hopes fulfilled
And swell with praise

23. On feast day I lacked nothing
Except seeing him, so I deprived myself, alone

24. The blossoms shed blood, so excuse me
From the door, for the warblers have departed

25. Until, when I discerned it as gold
And saw it flowing endlessly

26. I came, and my hopes were saying
"Do not fear the redness of the roses"
