1. I say, now that the feast of love has returned
When we alighted in Al-Ajfar

2. O friend of mine, do you see their fire?
He said, "You show me what I do not see"

3. Love called me, though it did not call him
So I saw what he could not see

4. And I have not ceased to disturb him with yearning
And remind him of the abandoned abode

5. Until he sighed from a gasp
And verily from passion he seeks deliverance
