1. She came gliding on the breeze of morn
Charming the gazelles with her bending form

2. When she swayed revealing her blushing cheeks
The bracelets sang sweetly with her grace

3. The flowers of the garden breathed her scent
A dreamy aroma of her presence

4. She walked as if she owned all existence
We could only submit to her glory

5. When she saw my gazing eyes
Prodding her with unvoiced queries

6. She smiled, nay she smiled most radiant
Sashaying gently with tinkling anklets

7. As if the anklets caused a clamor
In my fluttering heart like an earthquake

8. When she sensed the turmoil of my feelings
She whispered, remove all your shackles

9. For when the soul sings to the music of love
Hope dances on its strings

10. I whispered back from a heart tormented with passion
Though it shortens the life span

11. If the crown of love was gained by might
Among men I'd be the bravest knight

12. But I find love an ordeal
From which even heroes recoil

13. O you whom beauty has clothed in charm
And perfection adorned with grace

14. Tell your eyes to cease their resistance
Eyes that shower calamity apace

15. With the right eye a warrior conquers
With the left eye reigns the beauty mark

16. While I, wage a war of annihilation
A lion with wrists bound by a gazelle

17. Never did I believe in love or passion
Only fools toil in its toil

18. Until I saw love was real
When you embodied that masterpiece
