They granted me union after my distance,

and honored my past covenant

And in spite of the envious,

they fulfilled my promise with union

O, my joy in this closeness!

O, the bliss of my luck and my fortune!

My full moon was generous to me with union,

O my bliss, I have attained my goal

So gather, O tears of my eyes (in joy),

And be extinguished, O fire of my longing

For I am in my night of intimacy,

And the source of my spiritual spring has run clear

I have taken my cups [of love],

Amidst the scent of basil and roses

From the hands of one with a graceful gait,

Captivating, with a slender and elegant frame

At times he sings, "Take my cup,"

And at others, "Here is my cheek."

If I say, "O Master a thousand-fold,"

He replies, "O Servant a thousand-fold."

If he gives others a diluted drink,

He singles me out for the pure and undiluted

In his love, set aside your blame of me,

And cast away my sense of "wrong" or "right."

For the fire of my passion in his love,

Is like the eternal bliss of Paradise to me
