1. I said that the young man charms you with tenderness
And the neck of the gazelle, graceful and gentle

2. And I have told of your beauty when
I compared it to the full moons, praise and description

3. O beautiful charmer, in my heart
Is a fiery passion from love that does not subside

4. Whenever you grow more beautiful and weak
My heart grows weaker from passion

5. You did not know rejection like my tears
I have become less than the flowing tears of my eyes

6. By my father, I said, when the prominent eyebrows
Pushed away the day with the night, overflowing

7. Salvation, salvation! O horses ask
For me, the army of love has come marching

8. How can love, the confidant of passion
Be hidden in you, it is clear, it cannot be hidden

9. Do not increase me in love and passion
Some of the passion in me is enough

10. O cupbearer, from his angled cup
You have made me drink passion straight

11. O breeze of Iraq, blow, for I have
Forgotten my heart from the scent of your air

12. And heal me with a whiff of flowers
For my heart cannot be cured with anything else
