1. My beloved, I know not what to do should we part
And the world casts us to the claws of separation

2. Shall I confide our love to a letter?
Or to the breeze when it blows?

3. I have a message in the east wind
That looks to the west, hoping it will return

4. It carries tender greetings and perfumes
That would astonish even musk with their wonder

5. With it I greet the son of Wahb
As the morning breeze greets a supple branch

6. A gentle soul, no matter how he is tested
For tribulation only polishes the noble and the highborn

7. God willed that I see time filled with thankfulness
Thanks like the tears of one who yearns for his homeland

8. A hand that supports me with the king
Who has captivated the hearts of all people with love

9. One who is obeyed as if God alone gave him
Command over all things as He has given none other
