1. If I have a reluctant heart and ambition
That falls short of it, it withers and fades,

2. And my soul was not content to be humiliated and take shelter
With anyone other than you, for there is no one like you abundantly,

3. So why has my promise not been fulfilled and what ails it?
On it looms disdain and indifference,

4. I waited for it a month hoping for its fulfillment,
And a month remains hostage to waiting for months,

5. Will one who hopes in you return humiliated for eternity?
While you are capable of all matters,

6. And how can one hoping in you be disappointed while attaining?
His good fortune's bird continued flying,

7. Should I despair of the vicissitudes of fate and its harm
While you control the vicissitudes of fate?

8. And even if I am not given a share, I am aware
Composed in the face of adversities, patient,

9. If I am not dejected and ignorant, it is easy
For me to bear misfortunes that befell me and calamities,

10. And I still aspire to your richness and sublimity
And one like me aspires to what he aspires,

11. Oh, I wish I knew what prevented me from you
While you are all-knowing of men, seeing,

12. Your decree is truth, so decree what you will, I am
Thankful for all that you decree in the morning,
