1. She appeared with the dawn when it appeared
She brought me peace and gave peace

2. Our cheeks met on the horizon
I greeted a cheek and kissed a cheek

3. God changed distance to nearness
May God not change nearness to distance

4. My yearning blazed in my heart for a time
But today it became cool

5. I'm neither doubting nor crying
I will be more thankful and grateful

6. My visitor after long absence
Was very gentle, very affectionate

7. She looked on my repelling and uniting
So she renewed a pact and made a pact

8. She restored its youth to this place
It became like a meadow, nay more dewy

9. How often I frowned on it
Now how fondly I smile on it

10. Once I called it hellfire
Now it is to me bliss and eternity

11. Come, feel my liver with your palm
If estrangement still hurts my liver

12. Yet I hope she will return
I could return her with union if she wished

13. I feared intimacy so overcame it
And both of us increased in fervor

14. One like me does not break a pact
Nor one like you break a pact

15. Passion rests on both its sides
If one side tires of it, it inclines

16. Come, I will sneak with you among the gardens
And we will string pearls and scatter roses

17. For now is the time the breeze blows
To rumple a cheek and tousle a plait

18. The birds will trill in their melodies
And I will sing my song, yes I will sing

19. When I look at you on the terrace you sing
She appeared with the dawn when it appeared
