1. The full moon of dusk, the sun of dawn
Left my body as a specter

2. My heart almost perished from
The length of separation

3. It tells of the staff in the thicket
With every sigh

4. The sorcerer of a glance from it
I saw the bowed forehead disgraced

5. The horsemen's gown from Turkish cloth
Is it gone from gazelles with beards?

6. When they wave it
In the ferocity of battle

7. Its mouth gapes revealing
The lightning when it glimpsed

8. Glory to Him who placed in His
Cheeks those touches

9. As if its taste were
Musk and pleasant fragrance diffused

10. Confused by the gown from
The intoxication of his love restored

11. Life is but red coffee
That drives away fatigue

12. And it is that which attracts
Joy from all directions

13. So be for it an embracer
An impassioned waker at dawn

14. How good is sugar drunk
With it when it overflows

15. It heals the pain of grapes with
Wine when injured

16. With it the sorrowful gain from
Attaining what they yearned for

17. So it is a place accepting
To arouse transported rapture

18. Its qualities tire the minds
Of the most eloquent explicators
