1. Oh love, how sighs burst forth
And my passion cries aloud

2. Love has consumed me completely
And my heart complies

3. Woe to me from a gazelle
Whose dwelling is my heart

4. My thoughts were not occupied
Except by her image

5. Her memory pleases me
And mentioning her is gain

6. My eyes did not see her
Except through God

7. She resided in my innermost being
And my soul, her meaning

8. Her radiant mouth
How graceful it is!

9. Glory to Him who endowed her
With such beauty

10. How many a tender cheek
Made my heart ache!

11. When will my eyes see
Her brilliant life?

12. May the passionate one find healing
In her kissed mouth

13. She is like a full moon
In its exalted house

14. Melting my sorrow
Proof of her loftiness

15. How many arrows were cast
By her eyes!

16. O you who my spirit tends
In ardour, to graze

17. You whom my intention sees
In the universe, its vision

18. If the new moon visited
My Master in a dream by night

19. Its meaning suffices me
To revive me, its meeting

20. How often did its cycle turn
For us, protective

21. From her mouth, how much wine
We drank

22. And she inscribed yearnings
For her, our recitals

23. And how we were carried away
When we saw her

24. The garden blamed us
For sullying its delight

25. It blamed us in it
For loving her

26. We said: "O you who
We have deserted by nature

27. Leave those whose stinginess has led them astray
Do not blame if you know

28. Her beauty gives life
With kindness, to the dead"

29. God, what gentleness
None but He has

30. Ah, her meaning!
Ah, her melody!

31. Ah, her brilliance!
Ah, her visage!

32. Passion has destroyed me
Oh love, how sighs burst forth!
