Yedid Nefesh

יְדִיד נֶפֶשׁ אַב הָרַחְמָן. מְשׁוֹךְ עַבְדְּךָ אֶל רְצוֹנְךָ. יָרוּץ עַבְדְּךָ כְּמוֹ אַיָּל. יִשְׁתַּחֲוֶה מוּל הָדָרֵךָ. כִּי יֶעֱרַב לוֹ יְדִידוּתְךָ. מִנוֹפֶת צוּף וְכָל טַעַם. הָדוּר נָאֶה זִיו הָעוֹלָם. נַפְשִׁי חוֹלַת אַהֲבָתְךָ. אָנָּא קל נָא רְפָא נָא לָהּ. בְּהַרְאוֹת לָהּ נֹעַם זִיוָךְ. אָז תִּתְחַזֵּק וְתִתְרַפֵּא. וְהָיְתָה לָהּ שִׂמְחַת עוֹלָם: וָתִיק יֶהֱמוּ רַחֲמֶיךָ. וְחוּסָה נָּא עַל בֵּן אֲהוּבְךָ. כִּי זֶה כַּמֶּה נִכְסוֹף נִכְסַף. לִרְאוֹת בְּתִפְאֶרֶת עֻזָּךְ. אָנָּא אֵלִי חֶמְדַּת לִבִּי. חוּסָה נָּא וְאַל תִּתְעַלָּם: הִגָּלֶה נָא וּפְרוֹשׂ חָבִיב עָלַי. אֶת סֻכַּת שְׁלוֹמָךְ. תָּאִיר אֶרֶץ מִכְּבוֹדְךָ. נָגִילָה וְנִשְׂמְחָה בָךְ. מַהֵר אָהוּב כִּי בָא מוֹעֵד. וְחָנֵּנוּ כִּימֵי עוֹלָם

Translation:

Beloved of the soul, Compassionate Father, draw Your servant to Your will. Then Your servant will hurry like a hart to bow before Your majesty. To him Your friendship will be sweeter than the dripping of the honeycomb and all taste. Majestic, beautiful, radiance of the universe my soul is sick for your love. Please O G‑d, heal her now by showing her the pleasantness of Your radiance. Then she will be strengthened and healed and eternal gladness will be hers. All worthy One — may Your mercy be aroused and please take pity on the son of Your beloved, because it is so very long that I have yearned intensely to see the splendor of Your strength, only these my heart desired, so please take pity and do not conceal Yourself. Please be revealed and spread upon me, my Beloved, the shelter of Your peace that we may rejoice and be glad with You. Hasten, be loved, for the time has come, and show us grace as in days of old.
