1. My talk of love for you is old
And my extreme agony for you is bliss

2. Torment me as you wish, but not your displeasure
And believe my loyalty in loving you, though painful

3. Yearnings delude my mind, thus
Fears of you seize me in the dark

4. The soul contents itself with fancying you
So the limbs live though frail

5. Happy the eye that sees you without disdain
Woe to the heart not madly in love with you

6. When my thoughts saw you, O epitome of wishes
Sadness stayed, nested in my heart

7. The universe is but an image; you are its spirit
How else can a body live without a soul?

8. My friends supposed a jinn possessed me
A confidante denied my state

9. I confessed what made me love you passionately
No true lover hides the ecstasies of love

10. Delicate branch, I'm envious when
The morning breeze caresses you

11. When a glow showed on your cheek
My hardened heart softened again

12. My heart delights in the agony you give
Why not, when you know my state?

13. A pilgrim band lifts its voice in Mina
Boon friends are their close companions

14. You may be miserly in embracing me
But you remain generous in my eyes

15. My glory, when passion wasted my body,
Frail and thin, conventions ruled

16. O rider who travels the desert by night
The cool breeze fans him in vacant lands

17.
When your eyes flash like lightning

18. Gleaming as stars on the horizon
The morning breeze whispers love's secrets

19. Its fragrance perfumes the barren plains
Seeing your wares, stop, O my beloved's caravan

20. Look what you've made me, a beggar
Sprinkle me then with your longing

21. Soothe my love-sick heart
I speak to friends to hide my thoughts of you

22. Though you alone fill my silent heart
On my heart's slate are pacts with you

23. Between my eyelids, sketches of you
Say, O stranger of perfect beauty, have mercy

24. On a stranger whose heart dwells with you
When you left in anger, he left too

25. Without you, he has no homecoming
Greetings from a gloomy lover
