1. Do not seek respite from the door of the beloved,
And do visit it morning and evening.

2. Rub your cheek with the dust of her abode,
And weep there as long as you live.

3. Mourn like a dove at the sanctuary of your loved ones,
And mix their wine with your flowing tears.

4. Wound your cheeks with the water of tears, for it
Is a wound that hurts deep in the heart.

5. Stand at the meadows calling her name,
Allow yourself to be carried away by the winds.

6. And when you are intoxicated by the melody of love
That brings joy and takes away sorrows,

7. Go to their neighborhood and cling to their side,
Let your hearing be filled with their voices.

8. No blame on the drunk in the law of passion,
If he reveals the guarded secret and speaks out.

9. Take comfort in their spirits,
Adorn yourself with their company and find peace.

10. The spirits of the flowers of union when they blow
Revive souls with the breeze they emit.

11. Arise, inhale their fragrance if you have no flowers,
For the scent of the beloved has spread.

12. Prepare coffee to quench your burning thirst,
And turn the sorrows of life into joys.

13. With the bounty of generosity I built,
So drink from it the permitted wine of union.

14. The censors have lost its radiance,
While it glows amid the gloom like a lamp.

15. It intoxicated the people of passion and clothed them,
In its presence, with robes and scarves.

16. When they hear it, you see them
Like pliant spears swayed by the winds.

17. Whoever does not surrender to their ecstasy,
Will never glimpse the lightning flash of union.

18. They are planets when they lack conjunction,
And suns when they lack the dawn.
