1. Khushebb, is there any hope for a lover with you all?
Or not, for I am struggling with the rope of death

2. If what is in me was in all of God's creation
They would not attain their beloveds' abodes

3. For estrangement there is a fire in my heart and liver
When you are distant, and the vision of your snow-like face

4. It is as if your love is above me when I conceal it
And under my feet a swamp over which swamps surge

5. I have been indiscreet about love, belittling its majesty
While you are like a bucket folded under the saddles

6. Khushebb give freely, openly or stealthily
For I have been tested and the wishes have passed

7. How long will you sit, Khushebb, without coming out
Not giving us a day, not drawing near?

8. If you were to experience what we experience you would allocate for us
A day in which we could live with you and rejoice

9. There is no good in life if we are to be like this forever
Neither meeting, though the path to meet is paved

10. Whoever watches people will not attain his need
But the harsh speaking attains good things

11. Some people lacking purity have forbidden you
They live without an enemy or solve problems

12. They have lied saying it is forbidden for us to meet
There is no sin in an embrace or a kiss

13. Don't you feel, my soul ransoms you, a neighbor
That I have no relief except what you wish for me

14. Whenever my eyes grow teary, I promise myself
Attaining you, I writhe

15. And I have wished to meet you alone
One day, and that I in what you told me have no crookedness

16. I complain to God of a longing that gives me no respite
And desires churning in the darkness of my heart

17. O Lord I have no patience to be away from a neighbor girl
Who charms from afar, and if she draws near, smiles

18. A radiant, fair maid, when she smiles
The house and abode are perfumed with her scent

19. As if she were a rising moon escorted
By sweet-lipped brightness, in her eye a flutter
