1. I yearn for you with the thirst of the parched for water
And I love you with the love of souls for their life

2. Without you, my soul perseveres in its fast
And with remembering you, it forever maintains its prayers

3. It missed the share of sorrow from being apart from you
If it missed being connected to you, it missed what it missed

4. To God is my heart that its times
Were nourished by being near you

5. If a youth lacked steadfastness
My youthfulness for you I lauded its steadfastness

6. Oh, if only the days I spent
In your nearness would repeat their times

7. And the necklaces of my joy would be gathered
So the hand of separation cannot scatter them

8. God knows that after you my eye
From yearning for you did not relish its sleep

9. You are in Egypt, enjoying its goodness
Send to the poor with your remembrance its alms
