Sleep, for you have set sleeplessness to watch over me,
You have made the nights into worries for me
Carefree—away with whoever has fallen in love!
Distracted far from one that I love

You have left of my body only
You have left of my body just a specter
A specter unlike the one that was created,
Other than the one I was created to be

And a youth who called to you in distress
A young man called to you out of hardship
That set his entrails ablaze with burning pangs.
His insides scorched with burning

فَدَعا إِنسانَها الغَرقا
His eye drowned in tears,
His eyelids drowned in tears
So he called its pupil 'the drowned one.'
So his humanity called out for rescue

أَن يُعاطي طَرفَ من عَشِقا
It is not for one whose charms are perfect
What fault is it of one perfect in beauty
To return the gaze of one who has fallen in love.
That he bestow a glance upon one who loves?

Yours is to show us beauty,
It's yours to show us comeliness
And ours is to put our eyes to work.
And ours to act with penetrating insight
