1. Her eyes allured the gazelle
His sight strayed towards her

2. Oh eyes that bewitched
Her glance shot its arrow

3. Her severe eyebrows
And lashes like bowstrings

4. Her loose flowing hair
Rays spreading light

5. And lips, if they smile
Like anemones and flowers

6. Or rubies without compare
And glittering pearls

7. The blush of her cheeks
Like extracted perfume

8. Her figure, proportionate
Enclosed in a slender frame

9. She sways like a branch
When the fruit is plucked

10. Slender without flaw
Beauty and youth

11. If she sings or moves
Like a gazelle or moon

12. If she strides or dances
Like a string or chord

13. The rapture of men, how many
Were drunk on her beauty

14. In the gardens we passed
Raised couches for us

15. And the generous one, so merry
In love he has fervor

16. With her is my heart
In it the trace of passion

17. Such is the joy for one
Who lives such a life
