1. The height of what comes to you, even if you aspire for delights,
Is with some attributes that do not fully match her zeal,

2. The most sublime heights are to be seen below his slipper,
Why not, when he has trodden the carpet with glory.

3. On him be God's peace, he did not wear obscurity
As a cloak, you see the thread of dawn embroidered on it,

4. And on his family and companions whenever
A longing lover remembers and loves them, he trembles.
