1. I see your eyelids, like the moon of pigeons
Like arrows of valor

2. And the light of lovely cheeks, merciful and compassionate
Like the full moon at its peak

3. Your braids encircle me, your hairband adorns me
With it my heart is obsessed

4. With it I have become accustomed to much infatuation
A companion of passion

5. Lovesick, melted away
Greatly suffering

6. Suspended in yearning
The one whose soft cheeks utter eloquent speech

7. Who restored my composure
My solace, sweet as honey, as musky as a seal

8. Robbed me and bid farewell
I marveled at the color of this gazelle

9. Without compare
Containing nine measures of beauty

10. With perfection besides
Dazzling is his forehead, beautiful his deeds

11. Like the kohl of eyes
The cherished, slender of waist like a pillar

12. Dark as the night
Traveler of my eyes

13. Then who will help me?
For the excellent one

14. Who cools the heat of passions with the purity of wine
With his smooth cheek and plaited forelock

15. And my passionate embrace
When, my beloved, will sorrow disappear

16. And the meeting come?
When is the rendezvous, O gazelle of grace

17. You who are granted survival?
Show tenderness to your lover, and be gentle

18. Do not spurn him
For frequent estrangement and prolonged harshness

19. Earns blame
Willfulness is yours

20. And prolonged separation
So take heart, O happiness

21. For the passionate lover, obsessed
Sleeping little

22. His tears flowing down his cheek
Like chained pearls
