1. If your tormenting lover has shown
Weakness after strength, then do not blame him

2. O my beloved, look upon him with kindness
And observe his state, contemplate

3. And if he comes to you lacking manners
Then turn away his words completely and interpret

4. Do not believe in this talk of the unfaithful
For it is the way of the unfaithful to fabricate

5. No, by your eyes, I do not compare you to the fickle
Even if with me you have been most just

6. How I conceal my jealousies regarding you, yet life
Is short and explaining my state is long

7. O companion of the gazelle, your attention to me
Was good, so return to me what was between us at first

8. God is enough for you, how you torture the young love
Who has no one to rely on but your beauty

9. Whenever the heart hopes for goodness
Your glance destroys what was hoped for

10. And when my body recovers from lovesickness for you
And your sick eye sees improvement

11. Stop your amorous glances, for they are arrows
And close your eyes to them and take cover

12. Wondrous is the rose of your cheek above the
Violet, it has revived the heart though it is withered

13. Turn away or join, be just, for I am never
Turning, O branch, from you at all

14. Shun me if you wish, O gazelle, but
God is enough for me if you shun me and excellent is

15. Restrain yourself, O unfaithful one, for that is my desire
Whether you are generous or mean, or exalted or vile
