1. Your harshness has made his resting place miserable
And your crying and pitying has accustomed him

2. The heart is confused, tortured
The eyelids are wounded, laid down

3. He almost ran out of words except a breath
That remains for you, and you deplete

4. The foliage sways to his sighing
And the rock melts at his lament

5. He confides in the stars and tires them
And spends the night awake and seated

6. And teaches every turtledove
A yearning in the orchards that echoes him

7. How much he lowered himself to your phantom
And was well-mannered without intending it

8. May you be comforted by a blink that aids him
Perhaps your imagination makes him happy

9. By the beauty of Joseph I swear
And the chapter, you are uniquely it

10. The houri of eternity wished for your beauty
Or even a fleeting glimpse

11. And every severed hand wished
If revived, to witness you

12. My truthful eyes denied your pure blood
Does your cheek thus deny it too?

13. My witnesses grew helpless when they glanced
So for your cheek I pointed it out to bear witness

14. I intended to join your locks but
It refused, too proud for that

15. I swayed your slender figure to bend it
But it recoiled, too dignified for that

16. I smooth the way to please you
Why does the waist make it difficult?

17. Between me in love, and you, nothing
That a slanderer can spoil

18. Why does the blamer open for me
The door of intimacy, yet bar it?

19. And say, you almost go mad for him
And I say, I'm about to worship him

20. My master, my soul is in his hands
He has wasted it, surrendered to his grasp

21. The bell of the heart rings for him
And the ribs of my bosom are his dwelling

22. I swear by your smooth pearls
The rubies stacked have sworn it too

23. And a saliva that promises its river
The slain of passion, its scene

24. By a mole that nearly performs pilgrimage to it
If its blackness were kissed

25. By a figure whose branch is watered with lineage
And the spear unravels its ancestry

26. By a waist weaker than my skin
And estrangement assails, scattering it

27. I have not betrayed your love, nor has
Any diversion with the heart cooled it
