1. O morning breezes blowing from the beloved's abode
You excited me when you blew gently

2. Whenever you dry my tears they flow again
And when I seek patience, it flees

3. News of my beloved came to me
And confided it to my heart, so it blazed

4. And my insides caught fire from its embers
Will he do me justice for this oppression?

5. When he shunned me and drew near to another
And I ransom him with my soul, as justice decrees

6. The ruling of passions upon me, then he veiled himself
The lover filled me when the medicine was scarce

7. And my liver caught the fire of anguish
Who will protect me from the wrongs of passion?

8. Whenever I weep before him, he smiles
And if one day I smile, he frowns

9. And commands my eyes to cry blood
And casts coldness at my heart, so it flames

10. Whenever he spurns me, love intensifies in me
I said, as he fought against me and battled me

11. “Does this have an end, O father?”
O gazelle, melting me into sickness

12. Between bodily sickness and the sickness of glance, make a connection
Do you not have mercy for that obligation?

13. While in the religion of love it is the strongest cause
O darkness of estrangement that ignited the flame

14. Do you see for me in you a dawn or relief?
If my full moon appeared, I'd have no need for mirage

15. As justification from a master who impaired me
After he had joined me, in which harm manifested

16. This love rules whenever my heart melts
How often I lead patience while patience is combustible

17. Every strategy with love is madness
And patience with passion cannot be

18. My life passed in the sweet torment of passion
And my livelihood from its impairment is perdition

19. And my life in it passed fruitlessly
Between confusion, tedium, and anger

20. I have a disapproving watcher, however he appears
And slanderers who will never tire

21. And a jealous one who fears no one
And a blamer who rarely acts with decency

22. He obtained from his blaming only fatigue
Whenever he accuses with blame, worry manifests

23. A stream of tears from my eyes pour forth
Alas, from the heat of passion and its bitterness

24. His blaming me never tires of accusation
All who blame a lover have sinned

25. And when love prevails, it overcomes
How can I not love a moon when it appears radiant?

26. When the branch inclines gracefully at its rising
His waist can be encircled by its knot

27. His mouth burned my heart with its coolness
A pearl made flawless by stringing

28. Named cool though it is affection
From his coolness, my thirst only increases

29. It is honey, wine, and tenderness
One who tastes it will never awake

30. And musk criticizes one who knows it
Does not the glances of his doe eyes make him cautious?

31. That he watches for that facial hair
My gaze embarrassed him, so he reddened

32. In the clarity of his cheek, water and flame
Do not ask how many my tears have poured

33. I have exposed my secret, and about it I have spoken
I said, while passions for him have fled from me

34. "Be generous with me for what I suffer"
I have no comfort apart from nearness

35. He said to me, "But die immersed in love for me"
I said, "I ransom you with my soul, it is obligatory"

36. Jealousy that has exceeded all bounds
And melted me for him like a pillar

37. I do not fear the harm of his refusal
My anguish, if I die immersed in it, is the water

38. Between grief, illness, and distress
That he loves another instead of me, what a disgrace

39. How ugly are suspicions from people of doubts
He knew my humiliation before him

40. Dignity before him became humiliation to me
I love him, even if I am disgraced before him

41. His love taught me, if it composes
Every knot in passion is wondrous

42. Ah, who taught man what he did not know
Before he learned the art of etiquette?
