1. O my heart, you have overcome me with disobedience
So obey me as you have disobeyed for a time

2. O my heart, do you not yearn to repent
When the wind blows the branches

3. Imitate the saints in the gardens of eternity
When they meet each other as brethren

4. Wearing silk and purple, sitting on chairs of pearls
With their crowns and garlands vying in beauty with crowns

5. Taking them in turns, inclusively
In adjoining gardens, gardens upon gardens

6. They are welcomed with kind words
Welcome, welcome to you, O riders

7. The veils of light are lifted from His face, Glory be to Him
And they benefit with joy and delight

8. Which dispel evil and sorrows
Then they return and are received by Houris

9. Of the daughters of bliss, most beautiful
With faces like lanterns, knowing only shades and retreats

10. Their locks hanging loosely over their backs, diffusing musk and ambergris
If the moon or the sun saw one of them, they would swoon before her beauty and submit

11. They greet them saying "welcome and at ease!"
Raising bunches of basil to them

12. They are enamored with the saints, who grow more luminous, increasing their enchantment
You see them approaching them eagerly, their colors changed with joy

13. Their mouths fresh as water when thirsty you drink it
Saying, "Patience is impossible without you, so descend, let us see you, it is time"

14. They lower their feet to descend and settle in pavilions, wearing safety
Sometimes they visit each other, and sometimes they visit their Lord

15. Then they withdraw, desiring their homelands
They spend eternity in ever-new joy

16. Never devoid of bliss or anytime
