1. The garden of blushing cheeks emerged like roses
Increasing my passion and ardour

2. And the night passed while infatuation held him
Offering me the sweetness of his saliva

3. I sipped from it though my throat was parched
And plucked both fresh and withered cheeks

4. A gazelle with the full moon's perfection
Captivating with beauty when it shows itself

5. The Pleiades yearn for its graceful neck
If only it could be a necklace for them

6. As the crescent wishes if only it
Could be a girdle for it and ornament

7. You have attained the essence of beauty but
When you turn your back you seem alone

8. You became the king of all lovely ones
Your every glance becoming an army for you

9. O instant, treat the lover gently
You have exceeded all bounds with him

10. Never did the nights of union come
Nor did the mornings of love last

11. O the most graceful passion
Surpassing the branches of gardens in swaying

12. You have excelled in praising him
To Abul Khair who guides

13. My Master, his gifts cannot be counted
In generosity, the day he fulfils promises

14. His pools of bounty overflow
And provide sustenance to those who seek it

15. He embodied the finest traits
And built glory and presided over praise

16. If I said he is like the sea, yet he is more generous
Or said like rain, yet he is more plentiful

17. If you count his receptions and loyalty
He is the most faithful fulfiller of promises

18. My Master, she has come to you like a shy bride
Seeking your valuable company

19. And prosper in your presence, striving
Every year with renewed desire

20. You give life to the likes of him and remain
A comforter of the soul and its ransom

21. You continue to ascend the heights of grandeur
As glory adorns itself with your glory

22. You have always been patron to the times
Remaining both servant and minister
