1. O gentle gazelle, grant me safety and peace
After you my heart is desolate with distress

2. I complain of my patience, have mercy my masters
Even if I complained of love to a rock, it would soften

3. Do not abandon one who loves you
Without sin, Allah is the one I implore

4. When you are near, nothing else fills my sight
Except you, so my heart is full of you

5. Do not ask about the extent of my longing
For my tears from within me are interpreters

6. If not for my tears and grief, I would not express
What one can convey without speech

7. O reproacher, leave me be, for I am a young man
Who has left no room for love in his heart

8. No blame in passion, nor in affection
Nor for one enamored of the beautiful and refined

9. With a love more fervent than sweet water I yearn
For the delicate branch, the gentle gazelle of Lebanon

10. With her satisfaction is bliss
Until she returns from among the maidens of Heaven
