1. The events of time have made me forget
And diminished my interest in living

2. I pass time in revelry and drink
And a gazelle that captivates souls when she inclines

3. Her ornaments of pilgrimage from him
I have enjoyed him in my vigils

4. And in a dream vision at night
I have embraced him and our night guard upon us

5. From him is a cover of darkness
My proud soul refused except

6. To be content with everything forbidden
No matter when it is, for I have attained

7. From him pleasure like the cup of my dove
