1. For whom are the gazelles while they are lively deer?
And their ostrich-like shyness is total modesty.

2. And the suns that if they bent twigs,
Would not groan in their pure-white bodies.

3. So secrets disappeared into fragrances and spirit,
And in the cheeks appeared fire and water.

4. It stoops in stature and wounds an eye,
For it belongs to the dark-complexioned.

5. The stars and the wet dewdrops and the moist clouds
Rained down on it and its necklaces sway.

6. And the bracelets of the damsel are white pearls
And an emerald anklet and dark red ear-rings.

7. And a youth whose brightness shone over a tawny breast
Like a moon in the darkness of its rein.

8. And a censor whose teeth make the branches shine
When her severe face frowns.

9. The shy maidens expose their wristbands
As the modesty reddened their cheeks.

10. Oh how I wish Allah would heal the woes
Of a time whose generosity is controlled by the vile!

11. And a time we love, so it is as though
When its enemies flow freely around us.

12. With glory, the generous are recognized, but
The Glorious Ones were recognized by their supporter.

13. Majid, if the nights have harmed him,
In his view they have healing.

14. A rest not rested from the destruction of generosity
With its castles generosity builds.

15. So he and time are violent, raging,
Naive, with a rosy spot on their foreheads,

16. And if the zephyr had resolve against it,
It would rise with the mountains while they are still at peace.

17. A towering patience the land rested upon
When its lofty summit stuck up.

18. Your mention is the consoling friend and the reminder,
As if the regretful ears heard you.

19. So when your praise is sung distinctly,
Congratulations sway us to you.
