1. Pause for me in the morning by Wadi al-Naqa
And stir the sands and little pebbles in the morning

2. And embrace for me, with the caress of tears, a weeping lover
In the meadows where carnelian lies sleeping

3. And wipe for me my cheeks upon earth
Where you can smell the scent of musk diffusing

4. And lower your voice as you whisper, and fold
The wing of humility - perhaps you'll find success

5. And head for the west side of it
May God water its pastures and lowlands

6. And ask about a neighbor on the skirt of Sala’
But before speaking, kiss the dunes for me

7. Some have a persistent love that wounds me
The lightning of their glare blinds me - leave off your spears

8. For my soul, solace and comfort
Tomorrow it will disperse the discord from her

9. You see the strings speaking out loud
When the professional singers sing their tunes

10. With a meaning we understood and grasped
So it thrived, and we saw it thrive

11. Just watch awhile and hurry back
And beware in case he tries to entice you if you meet

12. For my thoughts are pained by what’s in my heart
A moan like those who have tasted the sword

13. It's enough that my beloved's in my heart
And that in passion I desire union

14. Convey my greetings to my shining moon and my regret
In the darkness and at dawn

15. Gather my friends and convey my greetings
May God gather us at daybreak

16. Repeat my greetings to ‘Uqayq
Like ceaseless rainfall watering the thickets

17. You know, O soul’s ‘Uqayq, my words were true
When in beauty I spoke plain and clear
