1. My breaths count my love for him as sins
When I say I'd sacrifice myself for my beloved

2. And my affection is furthest from him
When he stays away from my hopes

3. A beloved, whenever faced with hardship
Becomes for the one who loves a guardian

4. He shuns the homes of lovers out of arrogance
Even if their paths were paved with hearts

5. If the breeze carried my greetings to him
It would blow it away and prevent it from reaching him

6. I'm jealous of his indifference to others
If only his indifference would become my fortune

7. And I adore the eyes of his watchmen over him
Even if their eyes were full of faults

8. Passion has taken my heart's reins
And made the tears of my eyelids flow

9. I've never hoped for aid from my family
So how can I seek it now when I'm a stranger?

10. I wish the days of my youth would return
When boys were not yet grey-haired from time

11. I've never hidden from people until
Today I seek milk from a dried-up udder

12. If flies think I fear them
For lack of supporters to drive them away

13. And if I told of the sheep's weakness
Why would I consider the wolf as prey?

14. Perhaps one day the wings of my fortune may flutter
And I will set out bold and impetuous

15. Precious, gaining from one who is precious
Like a rose the days have perfumed

16. If my eyes find joy even in sleep
Dreaming of those eyes, blessed are they!

17. And if the clouds withhold their rain I won't care
For their downpour has now become a flood

18. In the presence of his beauty in the gathering
Do I wish for sunrise or fear sunset?

19. I succeeded in praising him and thus rose in station
And time called me a poet because of him

20. And left a garden in the meadow of my thoughts
With branches of my hopes still fresh

21. When his achievements are recited in a land
The revolving heavens glorify it
