1. From the right side of the beloved, from their union
A herd of gazelles grazing my blood

2. Oh my people, for their glances
I was captured by love in all respects

3. And the radiant faces
Brought my passion into existence from nothingness

4. And on the day of their aloofness they ravaged
My inner being with yearning for their union

5. And they took me lightly though they had subjugated me
Then they assaulted with vengeful gallops

6. If only they were generous or lenient
And gave me even an apparition in a dream

7. Oh reproachers of my passion
Your blame is the most wicked of words

8. If you witnessed what I witness
From my beloved you would taste my pain

9. But minds are misguided
Not comprehending while the eyes are blind

10. Come closer and hear
Perhaps you may hear my lesson

11. And know that I advised you
If you understand what my mouth is saying

12. Yet in my advice to you
I strew pearls upon sheep

13. How can the blamers listen to us
When they are the enemies of old

14. Every arrogant one without guidance
Their Lord forgetful of delusions

15. Worshipping the idol of their thoughts
Wandering in ignorance of the idol

16. His belief is utter likening
Not considering beyond embodiment

17. Ignorant is his pleasure
The pleasure of bulls and sheep

18. And in his likening he is wary
Fearing our blame upon him

19. If the transcendence of our Creator is conveyed
He says this is a misstep

20. And when opened to him
He is released from my blame

21. Oh children of my people and those familiar
With my support in every crowded place

22. Remember me in your gatherings
That through you my sickness may be cured

23. And ask the lightning of passion kindly
About the nights of one in Salma

24. Does he have the return of them to us
When he controls affairs in the sanctuary

25. If only the people of grace were kind
To me and observed the sanctity of covenants

26. Overlook our glances that you blended
With my tears and my blood

27. And know that I am passionate about you
And I am of the servants

28. A love-crazed captive with much intimacy
In passion I am flesh upon bone

29. All my states appeared through you
And my love is not concealed
