1. Turn away, my love, from the apathetic
Do not emulate him, O graceful gazelle, turn away

2. A rising moon on a swaying branch
May God protect him as he captivates the young lovers

3. He sways with a tempting figure
So turn back, O branches, from your movements

4. O most beautiful of beauty, you have afflicted us
Mercy, mercy from your charms

5. You have a being that has ravished the meadows
With the alluring grace of your qualities

6. O face, be kind to your lovers
We are like images in your mirror

7. How many spirits upon your beautiful face are drunk
When you appeared with your being

8. Reveal your face and erase the soul within us
And revive the dead passion with your life

9. Through you we sold our souls and found peace
From its trials, so be kind to us, turn to us

10. Everything with which you have triumphed over us
Disappear, O light, into your darkness

11. You are Mount Sinai, and none other, and we
Are Mount Sinai, and none but your signs

12. They are our states, all returning to us
From you, and they are but some of your gifts

13. I swear by Safa and Marwah, my body
When I strive, O love, in your approval

14. I have not turned from you, always, so understand, O soul
Even if you are in ignorance

15. Such is the way of lovers before me
For you, from it, we reside in your heavens
