1. To your justice I end my words and stop
So be kindly disposed to me and listen

2. I reproached you with the reproach of a lover to his beloved
And I spoke with humility, so speak genuinely

3. Perhaps you were kept from visiting me
Fearing the tears and sighs from my eyes

4. If the love you claim were true
And you were sincere in it, you would walk on water

5. And if you feared the flames of my breath
And the fires of passion within me alarmed you

6. Then be like al-Rifa’i in love once
And plunge into the flames of my burning passion

7. I am forbidden your approval if I am content without you
Or I am distracted from you in the gardens by a houri
