1. Love has returned with the gazelles of Mecca
As it appeared to yearning hearts

2. And the passion of love has set upon me
The winds of desire and its embellishments

3. With confusion upon confusion through it
Oh religion of your heart from its passions

4. I have clung to a wish
Of tender water that kills me with its touch

5. It has gone with the gazelles after
It toyed with my heart without tiring

6. You seek reward so my love
Is this poem that shot it

7. It grazes upon those gazelles
If only I knew who herded them

8. Love stopped me next to it
And my heart silently stole away with it

9. It was cold to me as if
The veil of cloud masked its lightning

10. A sun whose cheek I kiss
The day of intimacy and bare its mouth

11. And I protect a thirsty heart
As if it was said your drink is naught but it

12. If it could, it would have flowed
Like a cloak over its pebbles

13. Oh day of parting companions
Will you return to meet it?

14. It said worries of love
Will leak from carnelian into its drink

15. Return with your phantom if
You are absent, so it hopes for your nearness

16. I have drunk from love
A red wine its cupbearer poured

17. Oh gazelle in the meadow
Whose ground is not damp except by my blood

18. Forbidden, neither its shade
Comes near me nor its side

19. Is this how my soul melts
Over you and hasn't reached its purpose?

20. A body tossed in anguish
By the hands of others beside it

21. Where are the faces I love
And I wish I could ransom?

22. I miss them in the returning
And do not see them

23. Alas, if it weren't for
The blamers, I would have said "Oh!"
