1. O you who are baptized
Hardships have healed you

2. So you are determined
Prostration has opposed you

3. You stay up nightly indeed
Exertion has bid you farewell

4. And in the heart is a fire
That has no extinguishing

5. Fires resembling it
With passion as its fuel

6. Whenever I say one day
It has been extinguished, it grows

7. O you who blame me, stop
For I am baptized

8. You have refuted me so much
If refuting avails

9. My heart has been pierced
By a sneering, snickering flirt

10. A giggling, playful coquette
With a dress of scattered patches

11. Her abandonment is near
And her union is remote

12. Her talk is flirtatious
Leading youth to debauchery

13. And her glance is sick
And her wink is piercing

14. And it is to itself when
It wrongs, benefiting

15. It kills whom it wants
Whether affinity or loathing

16. Like the full moon after ten days
Prosperity drew near it

17. And her mouth is dispersed
And her saliva is cool

18. As if there is musk in it
Mixed with cloves

19. And her form is supple
Refined, well-measured

20. And her breast is delicate
Fluttering, tender

21. As if it is a rod
Bending in its twigs

22. And her hips are heavy
Swaying at her waist

23. As if it is a sand dune
Sculpted by hail

24. She has of gazelles
A necklace and beauty

25. As if it is a gazelle
In an outstanding homeland

26. Or a beautiful idol
Worshipped in its monastery

27. I envy it frequently
And its like is envied

28. Her passion has denied
Does denial avail?

29. Who blames her passion
His advice is refused

30. O enchanting beloved, unite me
For I am a pillar

31. When I meet
Your love's exhaustion

32. My generosity is for a determined one
Tormented by suppression

33. Who stays up from your love
While you are asleep

34. Until when, my wishes
Are the promises fulfilled?

35. Passion in my heart
Shows as it repeats

36. And I live, the chased one
And I live, the exiled one

37. And I live, the purposed one
And I live, the unique one

38. And I live, the wished one
And I live, the lone one

39. And I live, the worn one
And I live, the missed one

40. Your love has destroyed me
And love does not vanish

41. And love, O my wishes
Is easiest, most severe

42. And love is my companion
And love is my sitter

43. And love is my joy
And love is my habit

44. And love, when I
Renew it, is new

45. I witness that my heart
Is frozen to passion

46. Bearing all this
And its load is heavy

47. If it was of granite
The granite would crumble

48. And of masterful, sound men
Among them no discordant one

49. All are frozen
Among them no fiery one

50. Ignorance from them is evident
So their view is correct

51. They are quenched by the limpidity of rest
Its deliciousness present

52. It existed in Noah's time
And they are its soldiers

53. Until when they perished
It was inherited by Thamud

54. A Shamiyya, Shamoul
Its devil an outcast

55. From the work of Christians
Not nourished by Jews

56. And we have a gazelle
Who hunts with its glances

57. Charming, delicate
Adorned with it are necks

58. Until it is as if
From its charm, exhausted

59. So it never ceased watering us
And our life is comfortable

60. An intoxicant for which
On our cheeks is reddening

61. As if its drinkers
In their market have shackles

62. Until eyes became sleepy
And cheeks turned red

63. In a splendid session
Graced by witnesses

64. Flirts, generous hosts
White of face, prey

65. Above them birds
Whose chirping is singing

66. And below them gardens
Whose plants are tender

67. Their cups brimmed
Overflowing, still

68. Adorned with fresh pearls
Their adornment, imitation

69. Like daughters of water
Startled by thunder

70. Once bowing
Once prostrating

71. And with them are tambourines
And lutes and ouds

72. They dove in an ocean of wit
With extended favors

73. Until they reclined and rose
Their gathering praiseworthy

74. Who says the likes of this
Then he is fortunate

75. This immortality, to me
If immortality persisted for me
