1. My book, I ransom you from Mar'ash
And the fear of its adversities frightened me

2. No one with clear sight has passed through its roads
Except fearful at night

3. And no one has settled in its land securely
From injustice and harm except anxiously

4. The intoxications of passion make me sway
As if I was drunk from its cup

5. I spent the night with the fire of sorrow as my bedding
And I woke with the embers of sadness as my mattress

6. And I start my day, crazy with love for you all
As if I was struck down unconscious because of it

7. I conceal and profess the torment of passion
So my heart conceals while my tears flow

8. My night is so long from all I complain
Like the night of one bitten by insects

9. And nothing consoles me but your memory
Though after you my life is desolate

10. I gave you my love as a bribe
So the judge of your love would be bribed

11. How can I be guided to your union
When your separation leaves me confused

12. How can a passionate lover enjoy
The fire of love that consumes him

13. With Mar'ash I wish for its oak trees
To compete with Jilq and apricot trees

14. With the just king I found comfort
Success, wished for by every loner

15. And among people there is no one noble but him
If you doubt me, then search
