1. Oh he who visited me unexpectedly
After dinner when hours had passed

2. A breeze of affection blew him here
And so branches are stirred by the breeze

3. Without an appointment he came, and so
The pleasures and joys multiplied

4. He inherited then became, in the hearts of lovers
From his glances and stance, joys

5. I embraced him and so my eyelids darkened
They are my affliction and my cheeks reddened

6. And I held his waist so it was as if
It had hurried to the gardens for itself

7. Oh heart, if the maidens claim that
In beauty there is one like him, say “Show me!”

8. I have not seen nor heard of one like him
Whose beauty amazes all creation

9. The king of beauty with his captives, so no wonder
Banners are raised high for his beauty

10. Oh you who come with good, welcome
Join the beautiful one and joys increase

11. You have visited your servant well and graciously
And so masters visit their servants

12. Oh you who try to find the pinnacle of his beauty
Fall short, for his beauty has no pinnacle

13. And his life is not tainted by any doubt
Injustice in the law of love is darknesses

14. Oh his beauty on a night that did good
And time is ever changing in its states

15. I continue to reap the sweetest conversation from him
Gifts to me of gentle breath’s perfume

16. I forgot the mention of passion and got drunk on
The melodies of words that contain movements

17. And I attained my goal when to my house
Came this gazelle and the moments were delightful

18. And morning shone so it startled him
In fear that birds might see him

19. And he doubted the dawn’s break and the rooster’s call
To morning prayer, and regrets increased

20. His limbs stirred to leave
So sighs multiplied in my heart

21. And he came to bid me farewell, but no - by your life
You will not remain for farewells in life
