1. The slenderness of his waist captivated
And my heart was entirely captivated by his captivation

2. I have become a prisoner of chains from his cheek
And chains from his hair

3. When struck by a glance from his glancing eyes
The streaming of his tears consoled him in his patience

4. My night has been long in his love and I do not see
Dawn, which is proof of his sorcery

5. Nashwan fluttered his eyelids when he saw
My heart, drunk with passion within it

6. And he hinted with a wink of his coyness, so I think
His cheek stopped it with a glowing ember

7. No conquest, if my heart has become engaged
In its abode, while the heart is the abode of his full moon

8. I lost my way in his confusing hair during the ignorant night
Perplexed, but guided by his mouth

9. He continued to show me guidance and lead me astray
To blasphemy, so I feared the guidance due to his blasphemy
