1. Your eyes were busy with tears
Tears can be obedient or disobedient

2. From you, breaths ascend and descend
With directing, and heartache

3. Did the thoughts take flight with it
The heart settles not, nor hatches fear

4. The more I fold the atmosphere, the more it spreads
How so if I spread what ribs enfold

5. O my soul, roam the loved meadows
Where gazelles graze, and the garden flourishes

6. And that pheasant, roving of eye
An eye coveting the caravan, alarmed

7. O brother of the doe, secluded and aloof
No harm to your square from pouring rains

8. O gazelle in thickets appearing
When the roses bloom and pasture turns lush

9. You have from my essence the heat, and from
My eyes the tears, a summer and spring

10. For you are from my ribcage wounds
An oozing abscess, and in my heart there are cracks

11. The north wind brings you a sweet scent
In the margins of the night guard's cloak

12. A stray that carries with the sword a making
Your glance marked the sword, so what can the sword make?

13. Where is our meaning from your perfect meaning?
Thus differs beauty, however ingenious.

14. For me are your curly tresses tumbling
When you appear, and your cheekbone carved

15. How many nights I wished in you were short
Yet the night's tents stretched far

16. We drank wine from you and wavered
Lost in the cup, though the cup overflows

17. How many disgraceful tasted love's harm
Not finding in your love the gentle, noble way
