1. I have called upon you with yearning,
So answer me,

2. And I have departed from homelands,
And the stranger’s cry emerged,

3. And what grief occurred,
To the melancholic heart,

4. Made it flee from him,
I do not break the covenant,

5. I am faithful.
Arrows of separation, O life,

6. Aim for your servant,
So tell me how can I have patience,

7. While my heart is with you.
If only fate,

8. Had not done what it did after you,
I would fulfil the pledge,

9. And no severity,
To separation, if it challenged,

10. I am the prepared one.
If the rain poured down,

11. As in its decree,
It would water the abode of its outpouring,

12. Then a guardian would replace a guardian,
Loyal to it.

13. Passion gifted me longing,
While it was sincere.

14. I do not cease the mention,
Of that time,

15. For in my face and mouth,
Are two impairments.

16. I avert my gaze towards the full moon,
And blink,

17. So this one winks, and that one winks,
And the saliva flows.

18. But the fervour of roses,
Is a disobedient glance.

19. Many yearnings of love,
Yearned for him,

20. The longing of passion, and no sympathy,
For what it yearned.

21. If it did not encounter what it encountered,
It would not have sung.

22. His excuse is clear, and the bashfulness in me,
Fears the cover.

23. Whoever’s glance challenged, and the noble one,
