1. If her eyelids deny shedding it, my blood,
I have a witness from her cheek unblemished.

2. And desire leaned towards my arm when
My eyes fancied I was intoxicated,

3. With the coolness contained in the knot of his loincloth
And the moisture of the scarf's end thirsty.

4. And when we met with my heart and his glance
Cautious of he who sleeps and he who walks.

5. I weakened and desire gave him superiority,
So he tied me in bondage, who can struggle?

6. And he who toys with rejection yet is compliant,
The delicate, encounters harsh refusal.
