1. O brother of the full moon, radiant brightness
You have conquered my heart, so do what you desire

2. O crescent rising in my imagination
And gazelle resting amidst the bushes

3. Never did we see a full moon rising
In a setting day at supper time

4. A young Turk whose eyes
Peer out from a loving face

5. His charms crept into my heart
And so he wore from it a necklace

6. Jinn, but a single hair imprisoned them
Whenever he saw it, he was startled

7. Nothing captures the soul but seeing
Gold ingots or a fawn gazelle

8. And everything has a share of its own kind
Thus they told him, the seller of finery

9. My two friends, repeat his mention
A spell that calms a restless heart

10. My love was hidden for so long
Today I see it has spread

11. How can I have patience to conceal
When the tears of my passion have flowed
