1. A soul redeems you with itself, its passion is for you alone
It has no desire in others but you

2. O masters, their love has trained me
And I had no experience in love before

3. With what can I get close to you
To satisfaction from this anger

4. Far be it from you to break our pact
And our companionship which is from old times

5. Every reckoning I had in my thoughts
And your estrangement was not in the calculations

6. By Allah, visit me even if briefly
And relieve me of my distress

7. Or make a promise of meeting me again
With a word even if it’s a lie

8. And test me, suppose that I, my masters
Am in your hands like henna

9. You are the breeze of intimacy, if you refrain
From me for a while, you have my gift
