1. O lamp of beauty, O son of the lamp
O crescent in the most auspicious of mansions

2. Whenever I throw towards you some passion
Yearning returns me to the threshold

3. You are my sun so whenever you are absent from me
My day is like the gloomy darkness

4. O sick of eyelids, you have sickened my heart
So save me for the remedy is in your hands

5. Are they eyelids that give shade or cups
Quenched with love without moderation

6. You deceive people with composure, yet in them
Is the mark of good news and severity of the judge

7. O gazelle that attacked the lands of enemies
And stirred the steeds beneath the howdahs

8. To you, O knight of horses, I call
To you, O Antar of ranks, I whisper secretly

9. Shake off from your coat traces of the withered line
Of sturdy stature and cohesion

10. And unsheathe the sword from your scabbard to shred
Each coat of mail during turmoil

11. O intimate, towards you from me, for I
Do not need advice from you

12. Heal me, love of my precious beloved
Of delicate physique and pleasant disposition

13. He kindled fire in my heart, would one deny
A fire sparked from a lamp

14. And he made me taste the sweetest pleasure so
My eyelashes flowed over my cheeks with passion

15. May God forgive me, I have come falsely
With fabricated dispute and controversy

16. How can I complain of one who is submissive
May God destroy my evil and obstinacy

17. The nights helped me after the prolonged trials
And time straightened after crookedness

18. If you could see me while the night is in full swing
I would say my secret in the heart of darkness

19. We while away the night in gathering and embrace
With happiness, joy, and celebration

20. Take it while rapture rises above it
A bloom crowned with the finest crown

21. It almost spilled with the cup from what
Its outer garment of glass had contained

22. I swear by the supplication in Arafat
And Mina where pilgrims gather

23. My heart is not content save with your love
Nor hopeful except for attaining your company
