1. A back bent with the burdens of passion,
And a heart melted for the people of yearning,

2. And a mind obsessed with the memory of them,
Forever, and longing has become a habit,

3. O Arabs of the valley of longing, with your lives,
Have mercy on me, for grief has assaulted me,

4. You remain as you are, while I, in passion,
Am consumed by you and stand without an ego,

5. The affairs of your beauty have attracted my being,
Signs of the judgements of eternity over transience,

6. And ardent love has taken control of my entirety,
And saw an empty heart, so it took possession,

7. And I became known through it and denied,
Have you ever sensed a known yet denied one?

8. I swear by the growling of passion and the secret of what
The people of passion have endured of hardship,

9. I remain on the old pledge even if
The fires of demise rise beneath the robes of wishes,

10. O you, love, to whom my soul ascended,
And compelled time and what it reaped,

11. With the subtle being of your beauty standing
From the essence of radiant light composed,

12. With the gentle symbol for hearts you have woven,
Through which you folded the secret of mysteries, sovereign,

13. And with your strong determination, descending,
On the steps of devotion until nearing,

14. With the subtleties of meaning you have deposited
Within existence, so it became inhabited by structure,

15. With the flashes of might which are your garment,
Edged in the assembly of its margins glory,

16. And with the evident beauty that from you shone
Openly, so it became among the stars most excellent,

17. And with every soul enamored with you frenzied,
And every heart in your passion spent,

18. And with every eye from your infatuation that has not tasted
Sleep, and directed from your rejection eyes,

19. For the heedless ones, humble in yearning,
For the perplexed ones, roaming in possession,

20. With a cloud of tears in the darkness I poured,
Over the cheeks, from blood varied,

21. Treat the ailing one graciously and generously,
And heal the anguished one mercifully and affectionately.
