1. Ask the days about me, oh sister of Yusha'
Ask the night and dreams, have you visited my bed?

2. Ask everyone you meet walking on the ground
Ask the barren desert about the flood of my tears

3. For I am a hostage of youth and passion
And if I gained your love, it would be my doom

4. Stand and look at a heart torn by passion
If not for your love, my ribs would not come undone

5. Spare me procrastination, my life, just look
If I don't get from you what pleases my hearing

6. I have found in you what Qais found in Layla
Oh how great is my agony from you

7. I placed my heart in passion for you as a foothold
And with my tears I washed feet for you

8. Do you not fear time killing tomorrow
The one whose life is in your love, not just claiming your love

9. You want me to prolong my torment in passion
And events toy with me at every turn

10. Do not wonder that confusion has come upon me
For in you, and from you, I have found my madness

11. Have mercy on the one who spends his evenings and mornings in passion
Calling for you, oh my soul, come back to me

12. When she saw me, worry took hold of her heart
And she said, "I thought you would forget my place today"

13. But no - by the right of love, I will not forget her
Just moments in an embrace tasting of my tears

14. So come, let's exchange sorrows for pleasures
And expose whoever claimed to love in vain

15. When we shook hands and embraced in passion
I saw the eyes' tears grieve for my tears

16. I gained the affection of the one I loved
And called "Oh Raymi, oh sister of Yusha"
