1. My tears flowed from my eyelids
And I cried bitterly before thebeloved

2. My soul melted with sorrow and broke apart
My sighs brought forth tears

3. Since my heart longed for the caravan of love
It threw my heart into embers, one after another

4. Between my eyelids and sleep are barriers
As between my body in sickness and my companions

5. So my will and patience are separated from you
While my sickness is united with you, and my passion

6. My first longing was my last tear
And my last tear was my last outpouring

7. Oh gentle folk bent from my ribs
Be kind to my heart for it is my remainder among you

8. And if in love you make me suffer, let it be
Through my sickness reaching you, not through separation

9. For I have wasted away all of me in your love
And nothing remains except preserving affection

10. My heart would not forget your affection
Nor would my heart turn aside except to your slopes

11. Upon my departure you cast the rope of your separation
And my steed of endurance stumbled in hardship

12. You weakened my body through disfavor
Yet your disfavor satisfies me, and my tenderness

13. And to live your love, even if it drained my soul
I would not turn from you in passion without tranquility

14. Unlawful upon my eye is its hatred and purity
When it has seen a day and stopped in purity

15. So do not deny in sorrow that I have become confused
Tearing open the pockets of patience from the greatness of my grief

16. Worthy are my eyes of tears when they weep
For a sanctuary that contained the noblest spot

17. Struck at night as if by lightning
From the intensity of that horror as if struck by lightning

18. And from it arrows of tribulation were released
Never have I seen the like of it in tribulation

19. And it did not cease to grow, and whenever
I would say perhaps it has ended, it would recur

20. And people rushed to it from every side
Each crying fire! in burning

21. And they were unable to extinguish any of its flames
For who can drive away tribulation?

22. And a group of people died, burned in it
Increasing the ten belonging to the Chosen Clan

23. And birds came and drove the people away after
They had surrounded that chamber of the Prophet

24. And whoever was present witnessed those birds
Visible to the eyes without any doubt

25. And in this fire God had some purpose
Which is only due to esoteric knowledge

26. I wish I were there to sacrifice myself
And with my soul ransom it, and my innermost being

27. I implore you, O wall, that I see
The hands of tribulations seize you with defeat

28. Unless you inform the inhabitant of the grave
Indeed my greetings and most fragrant regards

29. My beloved, O Chosen One, treasure of my quest
And destination of my hopes and joy of my meadow

30. My sins and failings have grown in this moment
And you are the one hoped for in every monumental matter

31. Through you today I hope for salvation, and tomorrow
Will be for the Day of Judgement the greatest connection

32. For were it not for you, Adam would not have been
Nor would Noah have survived in the ark

33. Nor would Abraham, in his state, have found
The fire become cool in the pleasing land

34. Nor would Ishmael, when he came
Obediently, have been saved in the moment from the blade of slaughter

35. Nor would the forehead of him who was crushed
Have been ransomed with the greatest ransom

36. Nor would Moses without him have found water of Median
Nor by night been guided toward the firebrand

37. Nor would Jesus as a child in his cradle
Have prophesied to his people about prophethood

38. Nor would Mary have carried him, nor would she
Have been told "Shake the trunk of a palm tree toward you"

39. And Enoch, were it not for him, would not have ascended
A lofty place below which is every rank

40. Nor would Job's harm have left him
Nor would he have been given patience during tribulation

41. Yes, he is the best of all the prophets together
And his nation is counted the best nation

42. For him are the dazzling miracles, and how many
Signs for us appeared, one after another

43. For his loved ones the moon split obediently
And for him the sun returned at sunset

44. And a camel came to complain to him, and it
Was noon, from the heat at midday

45. And in the horizon, that gazelle submitted
To him, and to the hunter returned and was faithful

46. And how many eyes has he healed and how much
His fingers overflowed, and for the army gushed forth

47. And on the night of the Ascension, from God he drew near
And He addressed him in the Holy Presence

48. And He clove the carpet out of honor
And who other than him attained this in the expanse?

49. So if you say Badr, it is from some of his light
And if you say Sun, it derived from him

50. And if the pens of the earth raced
To the sea, ink for describing him would run out

51. So do not reckon what I have said is his rightful worth
Rather that is only according to my ability and power

52. To you, O Messenger of God, I complain of grave sins
In hoping for great, encompassing mercy for my grave state

53. And here I have come repenting
Perhaps through you my sins will be erased and my repentance accepted

54. O son of a generous father and son of a generous mother
Through you today I hope for relief from the harm of my generous lady

55. And I hope that on the Day of Resurrection you will help me cross
The crossing place safely as a reward for my praise of you

56. For if this is fulfilled for me, happiness is fulfilled for me
And I will attain bliss and return with blessing

57. So for you, O one of righteousness, are my praises
Perhaps the righteous one among them will be for my frailty

58. Perhaps the son of a King will cure me with a glance
Protecting him from the faults of every eye and glance

59. Upon you, O God, then greetings and peace
Lasting for eternity, period after period

60. And upon your family, and the companions whenever
The breeze blew and parted the locks of the dawn
