1. The sickness of longing kept me awake
And my body melted from passion's heat

2. The night grew dark with evil portent
After that rapturous union

3. His brilliance is the fragrance of the breeze
Like an ancient narcissus flower it teases

4. Let me inhale this sweet perfume
Wafting from his overflowing rapture

5. It seizes my ailing body
Bewitching like kohl in the eyes

6. I was struck by an arrow of night
From his alluring charm

7. His praise is poetry's substance
My heart melted, amazed

8. If only I could visit the meadow
Where union with him would cure me

9. His beauty is a blossoming flower
A lily beckons from his bower

10. The rose in his care blooms
Behold, exalted in the shadows

11. He crossed the gazelle's spring meadow
Their sorrow was a refuge for thirst

12. The fish swam above in the heavens
Beneath its shade a winding path

13. His tents in the wide desert
And the livestock like sand dunes

14. Come, my brother, to the pasture
To its blossoming gardens

15. May happiness and joy persist
Between lovers in their castles

16. Dawn called to us with shining light
From his smiling lips

17. My heart and mind melted
From his sparkle in the dusk

18. The kohl burned in my eyes
And his spirit stirred confusion

19. The glass melted like passion
And love burned hot inside me

20. The wine echoed in the cup
From the pouring of that blaze

21. The gazelle visited in a dream
My specter blamed him

22. My eyelids blamed themselves
Among the misery of parting

23. My heart flew to the villages
And my blinking chastised fate

24. The arrow pierced my body
And the fire within blazed

25. My gazelle crossed the celestial sphere
The stars became my orbit

26. From the blessing of this union
I concealed my love, O tease

27. And spent the night in sunset's unease
The dawn attacked my night of loss

28. From the smile of his lips
When dawn broke from him

29. I yearned for joy there
My heart melted and was wounded

30. From the intensity of that rupture
I had been sick with anxiety

31. And distance made me frantic
I wanted to come down to him

32. But he gestured not to hurry
I carved that apparition

33. And spent the night herding that beauty
Perhaps it will give me hope

34. Of a scar from the gushing wound
The ailing one cried in suffering

35. Oh my affliction, may life persist
Oh, my departing one, be my shelter

36. So our gaze held a secret
The anxious one remained in sadness

37. Oh owner of my heart's relief
Tomorrow pour toward the burial

38. In the tumult of those rapids
Console the anxious one

39. With the magic of a glance that erred
The arrow in him took hold

40. For the sake of that progression
The watchdog and sorrow departed

41. And the time at hand was pleasant
The breeze blew gently and the body calmed

42. Oh Lord, may the winds not return
Joy broke my composure and steadfastness

43. When I saw this life
Oh my joy in such times

44. This breeze fills me with passion
The union bid me welcome

45. Ask me about that morning
If you ask about morning

46. All of that is raving
The camel walked in the gardens

47. And the gazelle loved the gardens
A gazelle among the beautiful gazelles

48. It was the source of my singing
I smelled that perfume from him

49. At the meeting it was easy
Then he gestured, you are the expert

50. If only my night would give relief
I yearned for the shaded meadow

51. And my poverty held such hope
I suffered from the harsh estrangement

52. It set my heart ablaze
The fickle pigeon mocked me

53. And patience had abandoned me
The anxious heart melted

54. From his glances' intensity
Oh beloved, O beloved

55. You whose spirit brought me bliss
Your blame has lasted eternally

56. By the right of this watchtower
The sickness of longing kept me awake

57. And my body melted from passion's heat
The night grew dark with evil portent

58. After that rapturous union
