1. O Love! Long have we yearned to visit you
Though you are the closest neighbors in this land

2. You have made me ill, and with you lies the cure
If you would heal me from deep within my bones

3. Love is beyond price, though you grant me
All that people accumulate of wealth and children

4. I hope for your gift each day, leaving me
Tomorrow and the day after still hoping

5. While you distract me with perfume
And fabric of Brocade and Braid

6. I refuse to weep unless with you I adorn my eyes
For in adorning them with you, my weeping is cured

7. And every love will heal with their beloved
Whether she leads to ruin or the right path

8. I swear by your life, listen to me Abad
If I sought more than this love, I would gain nothing

9. When you are remembered it's as if my heart
Is bewitched by Harut or Marut's sorcery

10. No breeze has blown from your land
Without cooling my burning liver

11. When I peek at another, I still see
A specter of you keeping watch

12. Is this not worthy of some affection from you
My heart startled with grief and wakefulness?

13. It would gladden my heart and you'd grow dearer
If what I hope from you comes true

14. Shy away from love if you are a believer
That you would kill a soul without just cause

15. If you fear sharing your love with another
Know it is secured between soul and body
