1. I have an enemy nicknamed my beloved
Graceful and gentle in stature

2. The morning was shy since it saw his hair parting
Like lightning I saw it from the hill

3. The doe of Kinaas lowered her gaze shyly
When the fawn of the gazelle cried out

4. And his sick eyelids unsheathed swords
That wreaked havoc when bare amongst hearts

5. Have you seen the cheeks of time
With roses and a paradise of fragrance

6. Talk to me of him though I have no share of union with him
And scatter every subtle meaning of his talk

7. For the orator of passion is the best orator
Listen to the voice from his protectiveness when

8. The melody of the nightingale enchants others
Mirage may seem palatable to the thirsty

9. And the breeze nourish the guts of the emaciated
How can I hope for union with my ascendant who

10. Reverses affection and time flows inverted
My merits are sins in his law

11. And my passion he counts as my sins
Wondrous! Joseph of Beauty was unfair to me

12. And I am not of the children of Jacob
Estrangement results from a flawed assessment

13. This is of the wondrous strange
He never demeans the lofty out of whim

14. The appointed servant has manifested
By the life of that cheek and its mother

15. Many a hopeless romantic was plundered
When he removed the veil, dawn broke

16. And the beauties of the veiled one appeared
Lord of a night I spent in delight

17. The wine was more euphoric than my beloved's saliva
His eyelids are my cups and his saliva my wine

18. And my boon companion is his outpouring words
At times I am satiated by an embrace and at others

19. I pluck roses from the top of the branch
My sword against the enemy, my guard against the spy

20. And the stars guard it from the soldiers of darkness
The spheres of existence gave us glad tidings

21. Of the rank of the eminent, son of the eminent
The sphere of glory and pride, noble lineage

22. And strong familial ties, the judicious the highborn
The abodes darkened after you and became

23. After you like their overturned stones
Wisdom of existence fell mute and wandered

24. Perplexed after you, the aspirations of the wise
You wept with munificence and generosity until

25. You filled the universe with weeping and lament
Call out, do you see, oh caller

26. Other than you in the world who responds
We have seen none but you, O son of glory

27. Who hopes for the anguished distressed
Return to it with might and safety

28. O you furious with the sword's residue
And with your sandal tread the necks of enemies

29. And pass judgment by tradition for the beloved friend
And take charge of matters since you are qualified

30. And rightful for its appointed position
Judgment of matters is your ancient inheritance

31. And recent, and I am no liar
The abodes were illuminated by you and wandered

32. Perplexed by the echo of their racket
So the meadows' silk flows musk

33. Above the meadow's water, O beloved
You are the pride of time to people decidedly

34. Its refuge and ultimate desire
