1. With what aim have his eyes struck me
My heart has been repelled by his aloofness

2. My heart bent in anguish
And he turned away from me in disdain

3. If he is friendly he's a lion
If he sings he's a gazelle

4. If he's coy he's a twig
If he appears he's the moon

5. He surpassed a gazelle in a meadow
And branches in gardens

6. With eyes and figure
Whether he sings to me or ghosts by

7. The narcissus of his eyes shone
Lighting up the roses of his cheeks

8. A face like the full moon
Walking in the night of his hair

9. How he has distanced himself from me
Toying with me in passion

10. Knowing that my submission
Is with me something forgiven

11. If I offer my excuses to him
He is not pleased with my apology

12. And he is most pleased when
I have erred then apologized
