1. With the sword of his eyelashes he is armed
So beware of that sharp, polished blade

2. And he brandishes, ready to stab
A spear-like glance, nothing can evade

3. His beauty has reddened many a cheek
With the blood of lovers that fiercely flowed

4. Both rose and anemone grace his cheeks
And a drowsy narcissus there abode

5. When he sways his figure is slender
In beauty peerless, nothing compared

6. Though perfection itself he does render
Patience remains, lovers ensnared

7. My tears flow free and so does my heart
To passion's bonds it is shackled, confined

8. Behold his radiant cheek, a meadow in its part
Gardens therein, for that cheek defined

9. The moon arose, in night's veil arrayed
He walked, desire itself betrayed

10. My tears, with his beauty, do harmonize
When his grace and charms I surveyed

11. His lips part with a tempting smile
Sweet as grapes and juicy fruit combined

12. Bashful, lovable, his glance beguiles
The sleepy deer, completely blind

13. The full moon and crescent for features
His cheeks and charming nose provide

14. Lips where pearls were placed at nature's behest
Parted with pearls inside espied

15. Treasures and gems behind those lips hide
Waiting to be taken from pearl-lined coast

16. Draw your bow with his eyebrows to guide
Aim your arrow and his cheek accost

17. Ransom me, your willing captive made
A marksman's arrow send with perfect aim

18. No sword have I seen that while sheathed
Could kill whoever it wished to maim

19. My love is lost, though I tried and sought
No joy in passion could I find

20. I've become desolate, distraught
From a perplexed lover's troubled mind

21. He says that love is disgrace
At times distant, then feelings reprise

22. I said love's torment has its grace
For lovers, in passion find delight

23. Leave such meaning, cease thinking of cost
What is between flood and dried river bed

24. Taste love and affection's accost
Compared to which all is dull and dead

25. My heart by his love enslaved
To passion belonging to lover and coquette

26. With his cheeks, the fires he braved
Though hidden, they in embers beset

27. His wrapping clings to his waist
Oh how slim, it could easily tear

28. Many a night in darkness I faced
While sleep from my eyelids would veer

29. My eyes refused slumber's embrace
As if the stars themselves would deter

30. As dawn arrived and departed apace
It feared my reproach so fled far

31. Oh breeze from the loved one, a trace
Bearing fragrance and dew, confer

32. I recognized the scent of my dear
While others just emptiness heard

33. Speak to me of yearning and wish
For the fever and ruby beads gird

34. Their fragrance is blessed, as if
The eternal King's name they referred
