1. The one I desire does not desire me,
And melts my heart with his glance.

2. He startles like a gazelle in fright
Whenever his shadow comes near.

3. Oh sickness in my weary eyes,
One look from you would heal me.

4. Tied around your waist a bundle -
How strange that you carry it!

5. Oh gazelle sanctified, no blood
shed, though it was made halal.

6. Beauty has a place, for you,
Or you are the place of beauty.

7. Some in people's faces, and some,
All of it, in your face.
