1. Between the two palaces the moon appeared
Dazzling people with its beauty

2. It is attributed to the Turks, and has left
My heart stirred by its eyes

3. Eyes of a fawn that were adorned
With kohl that captivates or houris

4. He walks with robes flowing
Yet has a heart of unfeeling stone

5. My eyes beheld his beauty
And love stirred by the sight

6. So his love crept into my heart
With the heart its advocate being sight

7. My heart and glance both took part
So for this thought and for that wakefulness

8. O prince of beauty, does anyone else
Bow to your beauty except as subjects?

9. Do you know that I suffer
From love of you, having no patience?

10. Yet about solace I asked, so will
You mourn for your lover, O moon?
