1. Who is he who has my heart entirely?
My heart he has come to possess wholly.

2. Will he then strengthen and gain might?
But might in love is frailty!

3. I am content with what befalls me,
So no more complaints come from me.

4. My peace lies in my torment,
Were he to leave, my heart would yearn for what has passed.

5. Do you not know that I have come
To bear an affliction of dreams perturbing?

6. If only a phantom would visit while I slept,
My sleep would find comfort in that dream!

7. I have mingled from her cups
That illuminate gloom with rays

8. When she appears as brilliant suns
And the meadow rises for play,

9. The garden appears a bride
Encircled by valiant trees,

10. Its trees are like the crescent moon,
The garden scattered with its new blossoms.

11. It has a stream like necklaces
So look upon the work of God

12. Who has renewed Saad's good fortune
For the king from Saad's family

13. With the souls of people ransomed
And if they refuse, I alone stand

14. His swords do not falter to strike
Nor rest in their sheaths

15. Still under the royal shade
Dispelling the shadowed misfortunes

16. Whose spears now sparkle
With triumph since he brandished blades

17. Tongues praise him for what he says and does
A face dispelling gloom, in his grip fire flames

18. In but a glance of his an army bears
Against the prolonged troops

19. With an army of sound opinion fully equipped
He is seen capable of a thousand deeds

20. While Gadah the daughter of Anah
Departed and tears flowed

21. In an agony she could not reveal
Had it not been for overwhelmed shock

22. How many nights did the palm tree's sparrow
Sleep with the other sparrows all together

23. While my heart lay broken in pieces
Alone, none like it
