1. You were amazed at a cheek radiant and aflame
With the fire of shyness that water of youth resembles

2. Who will lend me a swift ship while the sailor is unemployed
So it may sail and the beauty scatter it to pieces

3. And my angry eyelids kill, when in a good mood, an admirer
How then when it is intent on being angry

4. A tooth that beautifies the eyes but has no charm of mine
That tortures hearts however much tortured

5. And a mole embellishes the line of her temple
And the line beautifies compiled or explicated writing

6. My uniqueness in sorrow polished letters
In beauty an erasure of my composure if they write

7. The arrows of his eyelids curve away from my pupil
Lost, yet he beautifies, wronging me, the blameworthy

8. He forbids the sought though were it not for the deadly
I would have attained the objects of desire

9. Disdain surprised at the death of my composure
And I see my life in his love more wondrous

10. As for the glittering of his perfidy, it is as if
Were it not for my tears, it would be perfidy fortified

11. He has indeed taken the rarely trodden path of discord
And the path of evasion a way of life

12. And I see the newness of sickness renewed his garb
A moon of temples replaced Scorpio

13. I followed him with my heart walking his every step
So for that the new moon rose in love and set

14. The does of Ramah, no startled stags return
A time of Ramah, how sweet and gentle

15. Farewell visited its stations and a youth
Turned like its dwellers, and a patience scorched

16. I spent the night in the darkness of sorrows, so if
The specter of imagination shone it would dwell

17. I left my heart enamored, knowing him well
And left my cheek in tears accumulated

18. His memory stirred the breast and gut
And the fondest memory, how stirring

19. Time is a day diverse like tears
After separation, and hearts fickle

20. And often the sun of time, but
With the hoped for companion it waned and accompanied
