1. O he whose eyes have caused mischief,
Acting like one intoxicated,

2. And he whose soul is infatuated with love,
Spinning like a whirlwind,

3. Love has undone me, so I have become
Like a pliant reed,

4. No good is in youth when
His neck is stubborn,

5. I loved a charming gazelle
With a gilded neck,

6. I cannot forget his words
From a wink of his eyelids, O my father,

7. Yearning, O my soul ransomed
And O gazelle of poems,

8. You left me notorious
More notorious than someone with slit nostrils

9. So my share from you before was not
A purchase or a gift,

10. I said to one blaming me
Do not increase the pulling,

11. Indeed the one I loved
Has with my love overcome me.
