1. O twin of the soul and light of sight
The soul's desires in this journey grew small

2. And solitude has veiled my eyes, so no
Person comforts my eyes in all this throng

3. Except your smile, darkened, your state obscured
Where is a glimpse for seeing in that?

4. It would gladden my days and nights as
Stargazing gladdens the wakeful watcher's heart

5. And loneliness would leave a mind
Oft overcome by yearning yet patient still

6. Longing for you if you're absent, and if present
Longing for you in solitude or in company

7. And if you're absent, it has no companion
Except echoes of our days and memories

8. Time has not passed me by without
Filling the emptiness of life!

9. What sweet aromas are there that do not
Remind of your smile in the prime of youth?

10. O solace of the soul, yet in the soul someone
Whose love scatters desires and thoughts

11. May God not make my imagination lonely without love
Nor those other nights

12. Where your tender blossom in
Its leaves longs for the morning dew

13. Inspiring the world with its melodies
Improvising in each heart and chord

14. So the universe resounds with its attributes
However much God depicted and invented anew
