1. Had I visited God's house and then saw her
At its doors where its doves took refuge

2. Her clothes would have touched mine if I could reach her clothes
And its sanctity would not have prevented me from touching them

3. And had she attended my death when the intoxications of death
Rendered me speechless

4. The lovers before us were like that
When she died, her passions haunted them

5. I wish we could live together, for if I die
My bones will lie beside her bones in the grave

6. In the enclosure, a fair-faced child
Alluring, whose smile captivates the forbearing

7. If I moved to kiss her she would turn away
Like the shy rising sun, though her bridle rang

8. She bit her thumb, then signaled with her eyes
"I fear eyes will steal my sleep"
