1. I send my greetings to the exalted one
And express to him my passions and love

2. To him I complain of the anguish and torment
If he only knew he would have mercy on my state

3. If distance ignited its flames
And tears flowed copiously and became running

4. For sure, precedence is among his attributes
And love and separation are among my attributes

5. I swear by the brothers of purity and what it contains
I hope the affliction will cease from the precious meanings

6. By the pain that drew near to my heart
And by what wrapped around my entrails

7. By my flowing tears and the burning of my heart
That I suffer and the heat of my successive torments

8. By the good days that have passed and the sorrow that I tasted
When I sipped the cup of joy and it was empty

9. You never disappeared from my soul even
If you disappeared and the separation from you lingered

10. No, and I never got bored of the religion of passion
Ever, and time did not diminish my love

11. With your love and the sweetness of your talk
My heart is still infatuated and my tongue

12. And the remedy for my sickness is your safety
While I am sick and my medicine does not heal me

13. And as you know my torment and my longing
For your protection, and Satan does not make me forget you

14. And to you, O pole of knowledge, I became
With her book, halfway apologizing

15. The full excuse for its delay
From you, for the matter is not as I wish

16. And if not for the unsuitable time for me
And the purpose and distance confusing my mind

17. I would have crowned the peacocks with pearls
From praising you and filled this rhyme
