1. I ransomed a boy never shaved his head before
If another has outgrown his clothes or worn through his sole

2. I said, what's your name, O most beautiful
Leave them all, he said, Altonaba

3. On his cheek a drop of musk, it's the
Mole, and a cheek whose beauty a scorpion etched

4. The knot of patience unravels in me whenever
He ties, above the waist, his belt

5. Harut resides seducingly upon his eyelids
And Marut making eyes at them

6. It disclosed nothing but lines of
Pearls arrayed from their shells

7. O jug’s neck of silver
You have attained in beauty the most beautiful hue

8. Give him to drink from you nicely, O cupbearer,
Passing along a goblet polished smooth

9. How generous the red wine was to him
It was old in Noah's time
