1. A breeze blew by, and dawn was glowing,
Adorning the boughs with drops of dew.

2. The morning wind plaited a string of pearls,
Swaying the branches to and fro.

3. By God! What bliss without wine!
Upright he stands, though mute, not drunk.

4. The zephyr of beauty intoxicated him,
His eyelids twitched, and passion stirred.

5. The wine of delight kindled desire’s fire,
Melting his coolness into fervent heat.

6. Like a bride unveiled, he flirted and flaunted,
Adorned with the jewels of the heart’s elation.

7. The night, soft-winged, was spread out
Like an ocean surge or endless heaven.

8. As if for the moon her pleiades lover
Reached out a hand to bid adieu.

9. I rode through the darkness of the desert night
Lightning when I brandished my sword.

10. As if, in his face and demeanor,
The darkness of error were lit by guidance.
