1. Awaken your heart from its long slumber
And work to reject desire and fight it

2. The month of hardship has come, so prepare for it
Receive its delegation, we have longed for its return

3. Whoever was heedless and idle for long
Let him awaken, this is the time for guidance

4. Rise at night, purifying and humbling yourself
Reciting the remembrance in your devotions

5. Wet your cheek with the tears of your eyes in yearning
And plead to Him, your long separation is enough

6. How many sleepless ones attained their wants
But through copious weeping and loss of sleep

7. The doves in the sanctuaries recite their lessons
As if their hearts are revived by its flames

8. How many spent the night, burning with ardent love
Lighting the fire of their souls with remembrance

9. Forsaking sleep, he rises lamenting his sorrow
If only aid would help him find happiness

10. He made the crawl his battleground, and there
The steeds of love grew on the plains and hills

11. O, excellent knight overwhelmed with grief
And sadness and longing from his troops

12. How good are the eyes that sleep and rest
While you, heedless one, are not ready for your supplies

13. Arise and seize the opportunity, hours have allowed
A time whose like is seldom found
