1. I yearn for your beauty as I always yearn
And I remember you at the rising of stars

2. I long for you and miss you
As the ailing longs for the healing draught

3. Naught lies between us but this perishment
This wall, this harem and garden

4. These meadows, these palms and vineyards
As if kingdoms at war lie between us

5. Their borders protected in fierce combat
If I wished I could meet you though I betray my kingdom

6. And if not, I'd betray my faithful heart
Oh long night that lingered with prolonged sorrow

7. You have no end and anguish has no bounds
What is this stillness you desire?

8. What is this gloom you conjure?
And what is it you seek, murmuring stream?

9. Twinkling star, what is your aim with your flickering?
Oh flower, hearts envy you

10. For you are foremost among lovers
Oh bird, you are gladdened by bounty

11. The length of union and the excess of bliss
The bough embraced you though thick with multitude

12. While two would not fit a spacious palace
