1. O my intimate friend, O my prince, O my chief
You are not one seen by the physical eye

2. Nor by the orbit of the sun and moon
Rather, you are with souls - indeed

3. You were created from nothing but souls
So you are within the soul - in my sleep

4. And in my waking and in my sitting
I have imprisoned my longing for you, hoping for

5. Reward in my confined yearning
