1. My gazelle in the meadows or sand hill
Whether you smiled at me or turned away

2. I traveled far and imagined your charm
The moon set and my desire wavered

3. Your veil surely covered the light of dawn
Ashamed of the suspicions of spies

4. Your ornaments when I visited you
Your beauty and the breeze every guardian

5. And though the sun set in the valleys
Suns in the veils never disappear

6. As if their brows were branches
Bent by the southern winds

7. They carried coldness but the coldness of Lamiya's cheek
Turned hearts from virtue out of modesty

8. Whenever she slept, tears at sunset
Wounded us while the sun disappeared

9. God watched over her bashfulness that we cherished
Luxuriant life though the stream dried up

10. The clouds poured kindness generously
Like the flash's kindness in abundant rain

11. On the evening of my return, cool calm
My youth's cold feared becoming an old man's

12. If I shy from blame, desire calls me
So I answer as the virtuous called by joyful celebration

13. I love his praise while knowing
My excessive passion leaves no room for others

14. I seek dew from those other than him
While knowing that he is near

15. Suspicious at the thickets of heights
While in peace, intimate and devoted

16. I remained hopeful in eternal days
You struck me with that which has no equal

17. And you when fate frowned in tribulation
And when you listened, an eloquent orator

18. If time stumbled upon a poor man
You shortened its steps from him with your gifts

19. Wish without wishing for spending treasures
For the excuse is narrow, and gifts plenty

20. Wealth that is incomplete for its owners
Every hopeful sees in it a share

21. So radiant smiles on its horizons
From its scattered parts, the southern winds compose

22. Whenever the lightning smiles from it
The knots of its beauty's branches appear

23. The land plays in its meadows
And every still heart flows

24. With features and face brighter than yours
And hands that make its hands extend

25. I swear if the nights passed over you
No old age would taint your youth

26. So time has not glanced at you with spite
Nor have suitors asked for you in marriage
