1. I asked who you are, you said I am the one
Who spent my life loving you

2. And obeyed my eyes in passion and my fluttering heart
Spends the long black nights longing for you

3. I yearn to you from afar as
The grieving yearns for the shining stars

4. And confide to the star inclined to my passion
Oh, if only after vowing I would meet you

5. I did not believe eyes and their deeds
Until yours enchanted me in love

6. Beauty has rightly enthroned you
So you reign in the heart of those who love you

7. My heart is like a young gazelle
That has grown weary of all but you

8. For God's sake, my beloved hope, be gentle
By your Lord, in love you have wearied me

9. You glanced at me, your eyes gleaming
I ransom them from the glance of an assassin

10. You unveiled your handsome face and murmured
O my thirsty soul, I will quench you

11. And the two souls embraced in the meadow of love
I was intoxicated until I lost my senses
