1. O you who are long estranged, do not forget my love
And my preoccupation with you over all else

2. O crescent above the cheek of a gazelle
And a rod below it striking soft sand

3. My blamer did not ask my soul about it
Whether I increased in loving him or decreased

4. A cheery one, beautiful of cheek and neck
Graceful, charming in beauty and flirtation

5. And whenever he speaks any words
Speak back to him reasonably
