1. Ask the enchanter of the eyelids who fulfills his promise
And does not waver in his word to me

2. For his love set my longing aflame and kindled my ribs
As the fire of youth was kindled by his cheek

3. And clothed my body in the sickness from the sickness of his glance
And taught my patience weakness from the frailty of his fidelity

4. O you like a moon whose crescent humbled the new moon with its face
As the blue of clouds wraps around its coolness

5. You rise on my horizon, so it is the happiest night for me
As the full moon rose on the horizon of its good fortune

6. You have taken possession of my soul and heart and left
Nothing but a wisp, if you would accept my gift

7. With my soul a listless, charming gazelle
Beauty tomorrow is a necklace and its centerpiece is his necklace

8. Eyes were confused by him in wonder
When has the wine of cheeks mixed with the honey of his smile?

9. With lips whose draught would heal the sick with its sip
With a coolness that would revive the lovesick with its chill

10. As for ruby-red wine melted in pearls and tenderness
Which melted the heart of passion in the fire of his fervor

11. The breath of musk, if inhaled, would seduce him
The scent of pearls, if he smiles, would express it

12. Indeed, I feared that nearness would end my bliss
And I would not enjoy the time of his promise

13. So, my Lord, delight me with the nearness of his tomb
And delight him to me from the aloofness of rejection and gift him
