1. No allurement like my allurement
In the graces of gentle manners

2. God gifted me with literature
So I exalt my station therein

3. My mind I unleash however so
It gauges the sharp spearheads

4. O you who sends randomly blind
To test me

5. You know more of my station
The birds came singing to us

6. Some verses of songs
With eloquences that sufficed us

7. As much as we needed of rhetoric
If the bulbul sang, inclined

8. To the singing of the Pied Wagtail
It rendered unto him a couplet

9. Of exclusive amorous verse
For a lover in a beloved

10. Remote from him, brought near by him
O distant in abode, connected

11. To my heart and my tongue
Sometimes estranged by time

12. Yet brought near by my wishes
