1. Greetings, oh eyelash that adorns the radiant cheek
Greetings, oh slayer of hearts when at ease

2. Breathe gently on the cheek of the rose
And convey my warmest greetings, if it would reply

3. Though you have shunned me, I must
Be content with your kindness, if it reciprocates my greeting

4. Return the greeting, and smile at me
As courtesy and devotion warrant

5. If your heart bears resentment at the estrangement
God will hold you accountable—what can I do?

6. By God, one cannot tolerate a traitorous friend
Like one who has betrayed his brother's trust
