1. My heart is overwhelmed with sorrow
When your slender figure sways

2. In every part of me there is agony
For each part of you is Joseph

3. Your glances and your posture do
What the gentle and the cultured do

4. Your lips like lustrous pearls
When you smile reveal what shells don’t tell

5. My patience weakened when you appeared
Your cheeks brought a doubled rose

6. A lovely rose whose beauty though
Is not apart from your glance ever plucked

7. Who ever loved was not harmed if I
Kissed him and so my yearning fled

8. Your glance, O Turk, makes arrows fly
That find no target but my heart

9. How strange that you stay sober still
When he who tastes your saliva gets tipsy

10. Had your face met the sun at dawn
It would at it have darkened and eclipsed

11. The quaking of your hips appears to us
Frightening your weak slender waist

12. You made me love but did not favor me
Where is the lover who is equitable?

13. My mind was destroyed before being destroyed
Else I am with love itself destroyed

14. I needs must pay you a visit
Though spear points bristle and flap

15. Had I visited you walking on embers’ heat
My ardent heart would not take fright
