1. I am intoxicated by your eyes,
The apple of my eyes, colors so sweet.

2. O branches all in flower whenever we faced,
Before us was an orchard like heaven.

3. A paradise it seemed with fruits,
Pomegranates on the bosom, pleasures replete.

4. By my father I'd sacrifice all to you,
His slave in eternity, joy complete.

5. In your beauty you shone as you came into view,
Yours the kingdom forever absolute.

6. Swords those glances that make clear,
Only the eyelids veil their keen acuity.

7. Trouble me, O lance, her form held high,
With your point and edge so fine.

8. Woe to me from her intoxicating being!
Around her, wall and battlement.

9. Lions that fear her might,
When she takes them they're defanged.

10. A sentry, if he saw her passing by,
Would melt though now in rage.

11. I dared the sea of awe to find her -
Pearl while the sea a whirlpool churned.

12. Fortune helped and all aligned,
For a man, his friends are fortune's guide.

13. In my palm what pearl can there be
That matches her in all world so wide?

14. Say to those who blame me, no matter their role,
And those envious that plot and connive -

15. Each day with her is mine, no matter life's shape,
In the cycles of fate, honor and drive.
