1. The remote buds, each star
From my lips is near to the buds

2. And oh spring of charm and passion
The spring circled around passion so circle

3. Shadows from you visited then did not return
To you, my eyelids companions of shadows

4. And oh life's sorrows do not frighten me
Your taming by love so you will not frighten me

5. All my thoughts are shadows and visions
As if they are a Sufi's ecstasies

6. Carrying me is an enchanted cloud
Like lightning across an uncovered horizon

7. Silken and aromatic wine together
Overflowing from my cup by the thousands

8. The stars kiss its dreams
With soft, fragrant crimson

9. To singing, visions and strings
I swayed, swaying like bleeding

10. And do not get lost in the darkness my cloud
My longing is my guide and the dawn is my companion

11. I ask about you from planet to planet
With the moan of the tortured, crazed lover

12. The two Aldebarans brought you down from them
To the boon companion and the cupbearer

13. My black Kaaba I found it
Between the wailing of jinn and the whistling of wind

14. So after it you will not yearn for an idol
My divine worship or my circumambulation

15. I pass by it as if I never was
I sacrifice it with erosion and decoration

16. My black Kaaba, you are my qibla
At nightfall with dew and countryside

17. Your beauty was not composed nor do I blame it
Beauty disdained the familiar

18. For you sensualities put on make-up, showing them
Oh you who saw the make-up of sensualities

19. And oh bend, incline and bow
Its branches over the slender, swaying

20. The greeting of a relative, and how gentle it is
And the bend of thousands for thousands

21. My liver flew to you carried
On wings of smooth, rhythmic chant

22. Dancing in the sky at passion's wedding
And the nymphs tapping on drums

23. The stars scatter in their joy
Coins grabbed by the guests

24. And the sun was stingy so he clenched
His hands greedy for her seen treasure

25. Melody's softness in its conciseness
Sweeter than the prolonged, rough

26. And the doe's whimper a thousand tales
Of passion and the wink of the chaste

27. The remote buds, each star
From my lips is near to the buds

28. Carnations are your smiling mouth
And we are with fragrance and scent

29. Leave plainness and let down your veil
Can the veil conceal Paradise?

30. I drank my destinies in the strainer
Of your cheek until I got drunk, tipsily

31. Each bud asks its neighbor
About your swaying, delicate waist

32. You walked proudly, tall and found
From it prying glances of eyes

33. Your waist and conscience from naturalness
Blessed be the slender and the slender

34. And the two breasts jumped like tracking
Treasures dreaming of fulfillment

35. Allied, protected and dignified
The ally refused with an ally

36. Soaked in wine and honey
Is this how to withstand assaults?

37. I kindle my heart if its flame dies out
A coal of sorrow or its subtle tear

38. Does dawn allow some of its shadow?
Prolonged has been my standing and waiting

39. I carry in my eyelids its incense
A gift from the weak, wandering stranger

40. And milk of silver and milk
Of gold for your lofty palace

41. Perfume yourself for this is my phial
And line your eyes for these are my letters
