1. By the one whose glances I averted
And whose love I did not avert

2. I exerted all my desire to reach her
Until my confusion forgot some of it

3. A houri whose eyelids distill magic
Anger, and whatever she didn't pour out was not poured out

4. Or my heart did not have a piece of my blood
That increased its duty more than its prescription

5. I did not forget when she sent white roses
And red roses in her message

6. So it was as if she had likened for me her cheek
When I attained her and won part of her
