1. You knew that I was passionate about you, pouring
So you tortured me, though the torture was sweet for you

2. And you brought sleep to my eyes while I was looking at you
So neither my tears would flow, nor my sighs escape

3. However you wish to hurt me, go ahead since you
Are the darlings of my heart, no blame and no grudge

4. Your aloofness is union, your anger is pleasure
And your injustice is justice, your distance is nearness

5. In my heart you have a high position
That no happiness or blame can unsettle

6. And when you settled in my heart, nowhere was left
In my body except love, as though it itself was a heart

7. When my eyelids flutter, my tears flow profusely
As clouds drizzle when lightning flashes suddenly

8. Whenever my eyes stay awake for other than your beauty
They do not stop shedding tears copiously

9. With whom can I seek helpers to kill you while you are
Along with passion, helpers in killing me, warfare

10. Maybe an opportunity will come for me to attain my wish
As before, the vale would bring us together

11. A mother bird whose fledglings are away from her
Her occupation becomes weeping and lamenting grievously

12. With a passion from my heart to you, if only
I had endured agony or if love had not been

13. I have a thirst that destroys time and expires
And has no day except love of you as sufficient

14. And I have become pregnant, so whatever touches me
Bows down in shyness, mounts and caravans

15. My heart guards the pact in its love as protected land
And for passion and chronic disease in it as prey

16. When his two tearful eyes reproach me and his cup
I gain a position below which is east and west

17. He blames me while the sin in love is his sin
So he returns forgiven while the sin is mine

18. May Allah preserve a heart that does not madly love
And madly love those dwellings but does not pour towards them

19. Oh breeze blowing from the land of Hajir
I implore you - is that flock still that flock

20. And are there graceful trees in the valley
That the riding camels relax under and go and return

21. May Allah protect the living in Muhassab
Free of blaming the overseer and no sin

22. They ignored me though they were my companions
Seeking to turn away from me while they are companions

23. If only you were just and my time oppressive
And you were peace while all the people were war
