1. You are the one created in my inner self,
And I am the one created in your inner self.

2. If he is saved from the water of his tears,
It is to a fire from embers.

3. He yearns for union but did not see it,
And sees water but did not drink.

4. Wandering, confused in a country,
While the one he loves is in another country.

5. Everything after our separation,
Ask about it except for my skin.

6. My sickness since the day I called out,
With a drink for the tears I called out.

7. A young man who if he saw guidance
Saw none but my madness in it, no guidance of mine.

8. He disappeared from my eye and it dismissed him.
Under the command of tears and wakefulness.

9. An hour when we would meet
And we parted at the end of forever.

10. An hour counted for our elegy
Used to be without number.

11. Oh gold coin with its stamp!
How much did the critic's eye cry over inscribing it?

12. And for a necklace above his collar
Under it a necklace of pearls.

13. The best of the two necklaces is what they attributed
Its stringing to the One, the Eternal.

14. Oh you gazelle who cannot be hunted, and what
I said, "Be devoted," but I say, "Turn away."

15. You are the water of life to me and what
The slanderers said is like foam.

16. So I must speak exclusion without them
And upon you is discretion in jewelry.

17. Turn away, be devoted, and kill without firewood!
You have lawful release from firewood.

18. I have people who are pleased
For me to die today before tomorrow.

19. They want death if only
My soul were stripped from my body

20. Out of envy from their souls.
They have no cure for that envy.

21. Among them is none but the flaming envious one
Whose innards are aflame.

22. His heart filled with resentment
After his palm was full of shackles.

23. He is a wolf if I am present. And if
I am absent from him he becomes a lion.

24. I worried in thoughts because of him while he
Did not worry in thought of me at all.

25. For he is in anxiety and in embers
While I am living in comfort.

26. They were hostile and hostility brings downfall,
And because of it every harm of mine will be repelled.

27. And I see them, if they slight me,
That slight will be in my forearm.

28. And my eye cried and it seemed to me
That I was separated from my number.

29. So for them is my clemency and forgiveness
And for them is what my hand has contained.

30. And by a Lord by whom I have been enriched,
I am not in need of anyone.
