1. The kiss of the wind when it prays
To it the jugs bow in prostration

2. In a house of play and pure drink
To the sound of flute and guitar strum

3. Two boys reproach each other
A leader complains to another leader

4. The smell of perfume with musk
And the taste of wine from a chalice

5. A face of love next to love
Having rested from rejection

6. A thigh's circle and a wink of the eye
A cheek bite and kiss of the forehead

7. A hand's touch and glance of an eye
Sweet kiss of coolness

8. A Christian young man visits me
Every feast day

9. His words fall like pearls
From a necklace

10. His belt over a bending branch
Sways in gentle bliss

11. Better to me than battles
And mention of heroism

12. Than standing over barren land
Walking the night sitting

13. Whoever sought rain clouds
With foreign sand and dust

14. Or inspiration in a people's abode
Who perished like Hud's folk

15. The spittle of love quenched him
From the west of blessed Mecca

16. It did not water Darim's land
Except with lightning flashes
