1. You cast a spell from your eyes into my heart
Oh my beloved, perfection embodied your form

2. You rose like a gazelle, yet your looks
Radiated the sun's gleam within us

3. The moon might think you a wonder on earth
In all mankind, none who saw you but marveled

4. Since I believed in God, protected by Him
The darkness of night shelters me not from your light

5. How I whisper to the night about you
The night is long, I must stay awake for you

6. My worries double when your slender waist
Bearing a lance, stabs me with your glance

7. If I die, let mourners know
My love for you remains beyond the grave

8. Oh fair one, you sap my strength
With your dark eyes, shake the ranks of foes

9. You left me, unaware that
My love keeps you lodged within my breast

10. Thoughts of you are perfect bliss
To my ears, your name is sweet music

11. Hearing songs and tales of your glory
Makes the ears dance with joy to your story

12. In my heart you have a dwelling sublime
Where my Lord engraved your beautiful charm

13. So fear God, charmer, when the stars' glow
Makes your eyes sparkle with their show

14. When the rising moon begins its ride
It rouses the eyelids that seek your side

15. Let it be, my heart, in its intoxication
It leaves some lovers in separation

16. You made it crave you, so cleverly, kindly
Hide your feelings if it ignores you blindly

17. It seeks you yet you seek its nearness more
Oh my heart, such torment I can't endure
