1. The breeze of your love has blown,
Igniting in my heart a flame.

2. No minstrel sings in your name,
Without longing overflowing unrestrained.

3. Remembering days gone by with you,
I cry "Alas for youth now enchained!"

4. The lover cannot gain his desire,
If but a day he sought another's domain.

5. How wonderful to pine for you,
To die while still with longing remained.

6. Friends, is hope near where you are?
Or means to attain you ascertained?

7. Alas, for our days in your company,
And life made sweet by you we disdained.

8. O rider to Kadhimah bound,
Convey my greetings to dwellers on that plain.

9. Say that the longing one has had his fill,
Though never enough of your presence he gained.
