1. The whites without the dark eyes' glances,
And the browns without the delicate wrists' bracelets,

2. And death is sweeter to a youth whose joints
Are overflowing with liveliness like water in wood.

3. Who will lend me an eye that has become languid with kohl,
Its eyelids delegated to my eyelids their sleepiness,

4. And an eyebrow above which the intensity of its arch
Is as if the letter noon in it is a nun of emphasis,

5. And the water of a face which with light became ignited
As if in each cheek there is a kindled firebrand,

6. And a beauty mark - if you saw where it was placed -
You would think the friend dwelled in the fire of Nimrod.

7. O people of Jeroun, you wronged me after being fair
Oppressively, and made me get used to what I am not used to.

8. I exerted my soul except that it is a price
For connection from you, but it suffices what I tried.

9. I am the lover whom the people of passion narrated about,
So I gave them in love my tradition.

10. From where is there for love like me in his devotion,
And who builds the religion of love like my building.

11. By God a night of intimacy - when it was mentioned - I said:
O night of union, return from the same beloved.

12. And the east, its depths carried flames
For the sun in it - an unborn ardor.

13. And the fox of dawn came gaping its mouth
When it faced the Pleiades resembling a bundle of grapes.

14. It is as if it is the shape of a pitcher generated
In the west by the hands of time - what generation!

15. It came to me while the eyes of the wild cows are staring fixedly
At me and my impregnable castle.

16. My status is beyond my capacity and my ability
Is without my fate and my existence beyond existence.

17. And no man asked me except I gave him
Generosity without gratitude or gratitude without generosity.

18. May God not make lonely a people whose morals
And the excellence of their generosity is like a necklace around my neck.

19. I will not live without taking their love
And have you heard of partnership after pure monotheism?
