1. My beloved charmed me with the softness of her cheek
A Turkish girl who has enthralled my mind

2. She approached and retreated without any wrongdoing, yet she burned
My heart and drew tears down my cheek

3. They say to me, leave her be! But I said: How can I
Have patience when distant, while nearby I lose my sanity?

4. The Pen of the Creator has decreed that I love her
So I yearned intensely for her and cut off my neighbor

5. She is the soul, the sweet basil, the gazelle whom
Lovers remedy all their pains through
