1. I have a beloved, my life for his sake
None but him makes life sweet

2. He called me despairing and sad
Help, O intimate friend of every stranger

3. A moon, by whose beauty all moons are dimmed
Destiny has led me to his love

4. Be he near or away, he's in my heart
Help, O intimate friend of every stranger

5. Slumber bent his tall frame
Kept sleep from my eyes and confused me

6. And cast at me hardness and charm
Help, O intimate friend of every stranger

7.
One like me has no helper in his passion

8. None to see or come to aid
Lord, make every hardship easier

9. Help, O intimate friend of every stranger
And lead me, by the Chosen Guide

10. From my enemy and my enviers' evil
And make goodness and piety my provision
