1. O likeness of the lady of beauty
And image of the pure angel

2. Your beauty is forgotten in humankind
While Joseph's beauty remembered in males

3. You adorn the cradle today and tomorrow the graves
If the new moon rises it rises in the way of full moons

4. By my father, whose forehead is like morning
When it prepares for travelling

5. On it remains from nightfall
Those strands of hair

6. And generous pearls
That adorned the coral of the throat

7. Glory to Him who granted it
Who gazes in the pillows and the peaks

8. She is watered and waters
From the play of bees or the hanging of flowers

9. And as if the scent of perfume surrounds
Her breaths like those of nymphs

10. Unique are her rosy cheeks
A wonder made of rose petals

11. Yellow when she first wakes
Red at the time of early morning

12. I kissed her and smelled her
And watered her with the tears of joy
