1. Your eyes are more radiant than daffodils
And your cheeks more alluring than goblets

2. Your face shines like the dawn, guiding
Those lost in the maze of your wavy hair

3. Your stature is like a spear atop which
Are missiles from your glances beneath the veil

4. Never before have I seen the dawn sun
Rise from the crystal sphere of the heavens

5. O you whose bending branch cannot be grafted
Except onto my heart that pines no other

6. May God tend what was joined when you met me
The most precious union of souls

7. If I forget you, no kindness comforts me
From the wise satisfied with me

8. My passion is free of all faults
Though clad in amazing splendor

9. It stems from the Lote Tree of the endpoint
Abundant, goodly and deep-rooted

10. Thus it has a sublime footing in tradition
Lofty over the highest summits

11. And its protectors have become like brides
Who find no charm but its virtues

12. The burden it bears has always been
To reward harm with forgiveness

13. Gatherings feel too small, so eager
Are they for it when it does not sit

14. My lord, change my state for I cannot
Sing his praises, I have no gift

15. He is the goal I sought when I resolved
To attain my hopes and not despair

16. Your merit excuses one who has become
Bankrupt at praising your worth

17. For every eloquent man of wisdom
Is mute in awe of your nobility

18. And I noticed the good fortune you have shaped
Whose pure light time can never obscure

19. As long as sincerity in you holds true
And praising you nourishes souls

20. No lover said to his beloved
Your eyes are more radiant than daffodils
