1. I firmly poured my covenant to you
O you, for whom the likes of it yearns

2. It has no distraction from you
How could it, as guidance and adherence are its habit

3. How your care has been a refuge for it
O excellent is the cave and the companionship

4. When it sincerely cleared for passion
Submission and intimacy surrendered it

5. It said to it, “I have come so look”
It said, “Thus is the matter upright”

6. Incline to the law of accord
For it is its steady religion

7. O you who came from the abode of Layla
Your arrival's thorns are perfumed

8. Every heart's anguish has cried out
Its torment with us is painful

9. If what appeared to me appeared to people
They would say, “Verily, this is tremendous”

10. I drank from the pearl a cup of wine
Whose maker is the Ancient

11. And I revived when I understood my symbolism
And its understanding is the firm goal

12. From its protector a secret appeared to us
Diffusing from its subtle breeze

13. For now we are like a sword
And every time for it has no match
