1. Our neighborhood right has brought great reward
And your neighbor, o daughter of the generous, is generous

2. His love brings you joy, and he is virtuous
And his affection pleases you, and he is unharmed

3. And I have no doubt, by God's grace, in love
So that a friend or confidante would reproach

4. By my life, you have revived my dead passion
And renewed the pact of longing, though it was old

5. With your love, my heart does not awake from its slumber
For it, this passion will forever have a burning thirst

6. So my tears' tryst is a dove's lament
And my longing's tryst is a gust of breeze

7. And though they claim I am a poet
In every valley of your love I wander aimlessly

8. I have drunk the bitter cups of love
And tasted the torment of longing, and it is painful

9. So o people whom I love
Do you not have a merciful heart for me?

10. Blessed is he whom I will not name jealousy
While I sit still, settled in his passion

11. Blessed is a house where a gazelle flirts with me
With the kohl of two tender eyes, relaxed

12. My Lord, spare him from his eyelids
For often the healthy have harmed the ill

13. My love, tell me what you intend
For how much kindness you have shown me is great

14. And I have no wrongdoing in your passion I committed
And even if I had a wrong, you are forbearing

15. Come, pledge to me what you want
For I am full of loyalty, a reliable leader

16. I will guard what is between me and you in passion
Even if I were beneath the soil, perished

17. For every misguidance in your love is guidance
And every misery in your contentment is bliss
