1. The world is not pleasant without my beloved
And the life of the separated is sorrow

2. So my life - may Allah not make it lonelier -
And peace be upon time after my death

3. I am not pleased with being pleased with less than
The thunder sounding for me, O clouds!

4. And I see his figure with my eyes and ears
Whenever the doves pass in the morning

5. Indeed the days of those kept away are nights
And the nights of those who visit them are dreams

6. Indeed my eyes have been drowned in light
So who can the days deceive?

7. And meeting in the darkness of night is light
While intention in the brightness of dawn is darkness

8. By my father you are a crescent moon for Eid
Except we fast from union

9. If you join those you've parted, the year is a day
Or if you leave those joined, the day is a year

10. Or if you say the beloved is despicable
My answer is love itself is despicable

11. I threw away what brings you and I no honor
As if I'd thrown away what cannot be sought

12. And if you are true to the dream with a specter
The dream itself becomes forbidden to the seer

13. My seer is settled but the beloved hasn't settled
Since he first looked while dreaming

14. And if the opponent rules against us
To whom will the dispute belong?

15. Indeed in your eyes are arrows
Which in their quivers capture hearts

16. Ailing are my eyes from the first glance
If he glanced again, my sickness would be gone

17. Don't argue the cure from my wounds
The only cure for wounds is arrows

18. Your face is the full moon, your tresses are clouds
Your saliva is rain and your smile the lightning

19. And for every state what equals
Between my and your full moons are people

20. I spend the night complaining to the darkness of his love
So it shows me the incomparable full moon

21. And between my eyes and his darkness
Flowed my tears which became speech

22. You are my fate and I have no fate from you
And so is love and longing for the beloved
