1. O soul, the sweet musk mixed with ambergris
May God cure you from a person

2. Who misses your difficult appointment
Breaking promises while coming and going

3. Your words to me bring no joy
Except an intoxicating sweetness

4. With which you enchant some people
While a glance of the eye is enchanted

5. Do you not remember my wishes
That I wished from you? Yes, remember!

6. I am neither forgetful, nor heedless, nor negligent
Your face reminded me of the brightest full moon

7. And your walking to the soft, yellow sand dunes
You deliberately wipe out my traces

8. With the dragging of skirts and anklets
And God’s covenant and pact

9. Between the veil and the pulpit
And sometimes our pastime

10. Unlike the illuminated night talk
I did not forget, but now I do not remember

11. Will that return to me as it was?
I have been silent about injustice

12. Just to meet you, but how I fell short!
I do not envy your beauty

13. Rather, I envy the gown
O light of my eyes that I used to see with

14. When you are absent, I do not hear, nor see, nor blink
Nothing remains of the agony of your love

15. In my heart and innermost being
Blind beneath the wing of night

16. That does not excuse or fall short
I fear death from longing

17. And with patience, I cannot be patient
So neither alive, nor dead

18. But in the state of burning embers
