1. The eyes ransom their beloved
And longing and melancholy become sweet in you

2. If a breeze from you blows my way
The beats of tranquility rise in my heart

3. Be gentle with me and don't forget me
A beloved who quenches the tears of the eyes

4. If not for love, the sky wouldn't have been created
Nor would branches have sprouted from the earth

5. For love is the solace of every heart
And the solace of one driven mad by it

6. Don't be surprised if I show my love
For my love in my chest has become inflamed

7. If not for fire, smoke wouldn't have risen
If not for wind, branches wouldn't have swayed

8. I'd ransom you, if you saw the fire in my heart
You wouldn't let money or children distract you

9. And I won't forget you, though I become a martyr
Calling upon the Lord of death in the world

10. Know that I am among the fiercely blowing
And the fiercely blowing contains melancholy

11. To live without your affection
Is like eating without appetite
