1. Among the gazelles is a gazelle, whose only concern is the morning dew,
She grazes on hearts, and in my heart for her there is pasture,

2. I would sacrifice myself for the hornless gazelles,
Whose adornment is pearls, rubies and gold,

3. O beauty, how my eyes have stolen from me and plundered!
Eyes sometimes steal and plunder,

4. So that stealing of her beautiful eyes I have given to her,
My heart, if only she would accept from me what I gift,

5. I want them for nothing but to see her,
And if she refuses, I have no interest in them,

6. When a hand steals, it is cut off,
But for the theft of eyes, no punishment applies.
