1. O you whose praise and mention
Among people is musk and ambergris

2. I have written to my beloved
A graceful doe with bewitching eyes

3. Coy, fragrant when awake
Intoxicated with passion when asleep

4. I see attaining union is hard
Impossible if asleep, hard awake

5. So bless me with a coffee
To revive my beloved's senses

6. Thus I attain my wish
And you gain praise and reward
