1. The youthfulness within you is stirred by her,
And the fire of your heart has rekindled its blaze.

2. My pledge to your heart, both cups and dolls -
Do not deny her beauty, or her charm.

3. Your soul has risen above obsession,
Could it be sated after forty suns?

4. By God, a beauty who owns the heart of he
Whose heads bow to her, of all men.

5. Her glances have done to him what has not
Been done by her goblets and cups.

6. O you who are spellbound by his words, is this not
The effect of her eyes while you sit with her?

7. If you have loved the Messiah for her sake
And your heart is torn, striking its bell,

8. By the Spirit and the Gospel, the pact of the truthful
And the oath of truth that does not go back on its word,

9. I have praised the mention of John and Mark
And am dazzled, before my eyes, by her images.

10. And I have drunk the consecration of the Virgin and Joseph
And kept what her saint has said.

11. If not for the love of Muhammad’s religion
Without any doubt I would have become her priest.

12. My soul craved to describe your beauty
As if her fantasy was palpable.
