1. Like lightning's flash I see within your mouth, or is it a mustache -
Have you sipped some of it or just struck with glamour?

2. I'd ransom the one who with a glance spilt not my blood,
Yet when I sought his kindness, he refused.

3. A Turk gazelle who by his glances left me mute -
No wonder if the arrows of Turks when shot are mute.

4. In his cheeks are gathered opposites in one -
The water of youth and the fire of beauty came together.

5. So that water made my eyes shed bloody tears,
And that ember revived flames in my inner thoughts.

6. My heart complained of the burden of passion, fatigued,
As his slender waist complained of its load, fatigued.

7. He sways his boughs, the wind of youth so you see
A bough of acacia bent by the morning breeze.

8. O rising full moon above the branch made stable,
Gleaming between a fillet and necklace adorned.

9. Be just, for the norms of tyranny have crumbled
Since the protector of religion became secured in our midst.
