1. O brother of beauty, my pact with youth is old
I almost, after gray hair, became infatuated with you

2. O brother of beauty, live before any wretchedness
And after living, it returns and is bliss

3. Those I loved blamed me
Yet I am nothing but a blamer and blamed

4. And I did not let my soul be inclined by passion
But the devil of souls is banished

5. By my soul - easygoing not mean
Generous, and I have generous tears for it

6. I task my eye to hold back its tears
And who can hold back tears and is solemn

7. And I conceal my secret in you and the secret is spread
And does the spreading secret conceal concealment?

8. Resident upon my love and from you in seclusion
An atmosphere between the ribs resident

9. So join the rope of love and estrangement before it
That severs the rope of connection and it is mended

10. If you blow me from your cheek a breeze
Then I do not smell musk and it is fragrant

11. The breeze of frankincense scented the leaves
If it blows for me from your two cheeks a breeze

12. If you are not a gazelle, in you are traits
Of the gazelle that tell me you are a gazelle

13. And you whom the sailor's beauty is like
As if you are a full moon and the sailors are stars

14. I removed with you the removable grief from seclusion
When you stayed beside me, worries

15. And whoever was vain in the love of the antelope, ignorant
I, by the causes of passion, am knowledgeable

16. I traverse my day in you and it is transient
And I traverse my night in you and it is fleeting

17. And I climbed the white desert and it has dunes
And I climbed the hunched backs and they have poison
