O Breeze, bring a scent from the dust of the Beloved’s path
Take away the sorrow of the heart and bring glad tidings of the sweetheart
Tell a soul-refreshing point from the mouth of the friend
Bring a pleasant letter from the world of secrets
So that I may perfume my sense of smell with your gentle breeze
Bring a whiff of the breaths of the Beloved
By your faithfulness, you who are the dust of the path of that dear Beloved
Bring freedom from the dust that appears from strangers
Bring dust from the path of the friend to spite the rival
For the comfort of this bleeding eye
Naivety and simplicity are not the way of the devotees
Bring news from that cunning sweetheart
The palate of the soul has become bitter from the patience I have had without a friend
Bring a coyness from that sweet, sugary lip
********************
My desire has not been satisfied by your lips yet
I am still drinking dregs in the hope of a ruby cup from you
On the first day, my faith was lost in your tresses
I wonder what will happen to my fate in this affair
O cupbearer, give me a sip of that fiery water that I am
Still raw among those ripened in his love
In eternity, the cupbearer of your ruby lip gave us
A sip of a cup that I am still intoxicated with
O you who said, give your life so that you may have peace of mind
I gave my life to his sorrows, I still have no peace
