1. Leave him be, for desire has pulled his reins,
And his affairs have violated the secret of his glory.

2. To divulge a secret is sweet when in love's grip,
So reveal your secret and cease concealing it.

3. Alas, the ardour of a lover cannot be hidden,
Nor his madness as it rules his mind.

4. When his hips sway, the girthed one fears
The belt around his waist may slide and slip.

5. Harut of Babylon hides in his glance,
Learning magic from this human's being.

6. It's as if Marut were enamoured of his words,
Seeing the splendid magic of his tongue's breath.

7. He appears with Yusuf's beauty reciting
The surah of Yusuf with eloquent explanation.

8. What fair one with swaying grace captivated me
With the glances and brilliance of his eyes?

9. Spring adorns itself in finery every season,
Yet the garden blushes before him in April's bloom.

10. He is rose-cheeked, pink as the rose's hue
On branches in the rose gardens.

11. A moon, but his rejection left me no remnants
To restore his kindness' beauty.

12. Affectionate as a spear upright in its stance,
Doubly bending like the blade of his spear.

13. From his face goodness' fruits are plucked, gracing us
With the bounty of his garden's ban.

14. His height sways like a blood-stained spear's
Having spilled blood with its strikes and stabs.

15. If Moses had brought Pharoah a hair
From his mole, it would have spared his serpent.
