1. My friend, how long will you continue
Bestowing favors upon me continuously?

2. I lower my eyes in shyness
For the generosity you have shown.

3. You have honored me with your praise
And delighted my hearing with your melodies.

4. You have left no strange meaning
Without adorning it with a word of my state.

5. It seems the essences of meanings have fallen in love with you
And come to you without asking.

6. It is fitting that convoys of maidens
Who have emerged from seclusion visit you.

7. To adorn them with the beauties of your excellence
And grant us pride and loftiness.

8. Beloved of my heart, my love for you is old,
The nights cannot change it.

9. My night and my day are in passion,
Sleep does not occur to me.

10. Your beautiful image is before my eyes,
I am not one who seeks false fantasies.

11. I have composed mysteries in my verse
That the eloquent struggle to unravel.

12. My beginning has a strange report
And my end is akin to my start.
