1. The dawn has shone, arise, let's greet the morning,
O delight of my heart, pass the cups,

2. Awaken, open a sick eye as one healed,
For my heart is infatuated with true cures.

3. Reveal the radiance of dawn with your smile,
For how much radiance your smile revealed for the dawn!

4. O my beloved, enough sleep, come now,
Let's converse softly on the sands at ease.

5. The waking extinguished my torches, so pour the
Oil and light with your Lord the lantern,

6. And pass it to me aloud, for the
Breeze is permitted at night for lovers.

7. A wine that fills the souls with joy,
And pleasure, and dispels sorrows,

8. They claimed it was corruption, had they only
Sipped its cup, they would know prosperity.

9. They lied, for the corruption they committed
Was evident, they saw no flaw in themselves.

10. O my angel, the waking clipped my wings,
Sober me with it, so I may flutter my wings again.

11.
Give it to me, for the waking scattered my heart’s dreams,

12. And I achieved no success.
Give it to me, for the waking dispersed my pains,

13. And brought me distress and advice.
Behold, O beloved, the sun has risen,

14. Arise, let's sing, and revive the spirits,
For its blazing light has made your cheek golden,

15. And dewed your smooth forehead.
The morning breeze wanders in the garden,

16. Spreading a fragrance of your scent that wafted.
Arise, let’s sing together a love song,

17. And whisper to the singing birds at dawn.
Let's call to the birds on the bank

18. As they sing and announce joys,
Then let's play on the sands like children,

19. Thrilled and delighted.
And if you snuggle, my sweet, in my arms,

20. Making my elbow a pillow,
Sleep, and place your beautiful head on my chest,

21. That I may pluck daisies and anemones.
O little one, peek from the window of dreams

22. At my ardour, and shine a morning,
For I, my angel, am restless in the waking,

23. Alas, how I wish I could rein in my zeal!
O beloved, and the sun at the horizon's core

24. Has tired of calling and pleading,
The hour of parting has come, and bid farewell

25. The gazelle and deer of the cradle of youth.
I fear for you from your evil family,

26. Why did you not let me be at peace?
O beloved, the bitter pain has penetrated

27. My essence, and the wounds have festered.

28. O beloved, the illness has adhered to the soul,
And the cure was of no avail, so it sighed and wept,

29. O beloved, the screaming sorrow has settled
In my heart by force, and made itself at home.

30. Arise, erase sleeping fears, for I
Will never love sorrow and crying,

31. Arise, fight them as enemies to me,
Then leave me tortured and writhing.

32. For I am a poet, created to suffer,
Not to attain happiness and prosperity,

33. My will faded when the nights battled me,
Then I cast my weapons down despite myself.

34. What remains of life that calamities left in me,
Even to struggle?

35. Eh, captain of my boat, here is my heart,
For I have made it a sailor.

36. Complaining of sorrows in the evening of dawn,
And I remain here, committed to the vow,

37. Conversing with fantasies and ghosts.
We heeded not the blame of censurers
