1. O my worried mind, life congratulates you
You lived while lovers died of agony

2. O my aching heart, come let us lament
Livers starved with complaints get nourished

3. O lovers, come let us shed tears
For thirst, our tears are the Euphrates waters

4. Tell me tales of passion
O narrators of love, what great narrators!

5. Tell me of the coquetry of the gazelle
Those deadly, formidable coquetries

6. Tell me how love acted in your livers
Those apathetic, fruitless acts

7. How the spears of glances pierced you
With their piercing blade and slender waist

8. How the swords of the alluring eyes
Raised high above the heights

9. Tell me of love and I will tell you
We are all trusted in love stories

10. I am lovesick, and you, are you
Like me or is love gentler to you?

11. O my worried mind, beware of love
Its degrees are tricky precipices

12. The cause of love is eyes meeting eyes
Moments intersecting with moments

13. Few attain what they desire
Rather, desires reached are forbidden

14. I never craved the fancied
Except its facets shamed me
