1. O Lord, the magic of drowsy eyes captivated me at dawn
Who was more astray and intense than the kings of Saba?

2. And their love dressed their lovers in poverty
It almost hides the dresser from the necks

3. So increase, O Most Merciful, His power by Your right
And do not let anyone but Him have power or grow

4. And protect from the evil eye a cheek You granted
To which the gazelle gave its golden colors

5. He deserves thanks from a man
Without him youth and joy would not be known

6. My charmer said goodbye to the dovecote and returned it
And you know the rose is the rose of youth

7. The rose of beauty that never deserted it
Rather it was concealed among violets

8. By God, sun who veiled yourself
With the green chrysolite from the eyes of the watchers

9. Is this veil made of turquoise or
Of the blue eyes' imagination, magic and confusion?

10. I ransom the eyes with my soul and the veil together
And the moles on your cheek and the loved one

11. Where is my soul with which I ransom the eyes?
It perished and the essence of my heart was plundered before it

12. You whom the patience of passion once overcame
But patience betrayed and overpowered it

13. Why does my love fell me and I conceal it?
My tears turned to blood and patience to gift

14. The black swords of eyes wanted me
But gained no hope or profit from me

15. So the blue eyes' sword fells me
Rather, it shreds my heart passionately

16. I blame the hand that prevented me from you, my dwelling
Wealth did not avail the wretched one and what he earned

17. He stays up asking me the cause of my longing
As if your eyes did not show him the cause

18. And he said, "You love the black eyes." I said to him
"The heart and passion were lost to the blue eyes."

19. When its blue flame flares up
It ignites, and black does not ignite flames
