1. The sun in your beautiful face swears
That all beauty comes from your perfection.

2. All charms are gathered for your delight,
While loveliness itself is allotted among all mankind.

3. O you whose eyes inscribed the sword of his glance,
Why not adopt his justice when you judge?

4. You are the desired one, and the sword of your glance is my executioner,
Yet my mouth is muted from explaining my state.

5. You complain of our separation though you caused it,
And it is amazing for an oppressor to protest.

6. You claim knowing my excuse for being distant,
Yet God knows I know not.

7. I see you know my love for you,
Yet I conceal my passion and remain silent.

8. If you know not, that is a calamity,
If you do know, the calamity is greater.
