1. My friend, do not rush and keep
my words secret with caution in your heart

2. For I have fallen for one who stands for me
Whenever I turn towards my prayers

3. For in everything there is an image
If it appears, it has my attention

4. And that one whom I wished for
Was but a part of my whole

5. He owns me and I own him
So he has my humility and I have his glory

6. And if you portray what I have said differently
It fits, for my gathering is in oneness

7. And in the state of my love I hate
him and my love, oh my confusion

8. He came to me suddenly in the night
So his coming affirmed my argument

9. If only the one I was infatuated with was
Of my faith or my doctrine

10. I would not complain of passion and desire
But he is not of my lineage

11. He differs from me, yet I agree with him
Thus I paused in my stance

12. I craved the heavens, but who do I have there?
My love for their eyes was my reward

13. And none of the people fattened but those
Who brought me my wishes from them

14. My certainty in them is confident and steadfast
My certainty saves me from stumbling into mistakes
