1. O beauty, and beauty is but one of his traits
And magic confined to his movements

2. Were the full moon told, propose a wish
It would say, let me be one of his adornments

3. He gives the branch ease, a bending branch
Carrying the dawn, thus becoming one of its blossoms

4. And the moles speckle the dish of his cheek
With what the pen lined not among his letters

5. And if the crescent of the horizon met his face
You'd see it as a person in their reflection

6. His glances toyed with the heart of his admirer
O Lord, blame not his glances

7. He rode sins in plundering our souls
So may God make them among his virtues

8. I continued to seek the era's union
Until it came close though distance is of its norms

9. I forgave the era's sin in it for a night
That veiled what wrong had been among its stumbles

10. The days were heedless so I attained rarely from it
Oh, if only it stayed in its heedlessness

11. I lay with him while the night kindled beneath him
Two fires, from my soul and his cheeks

12. We stayed awake, and chastity our company
Two wines, from my amorousness and his words

13. So I embraced him in a miser's embrace
I pity him from all his sides

14. I bound him in my arms for he
Is a gazelle I feared would escape me

15. And the heart invokes to make an arm
To succeed in hopes during its embraces

16. Until when sleep wandered his eyelids
And yielded in my arms following its years

17. Passion resolved I kiss him
But I refused to show compliance from its resolves

18. And my chastity refused to kiss his lips
While my heart is folded over his embers

19. How strange is the greed of flaming passions
Complaining of thirst while water is in its distraction
