1. My heart's passion for her surpasses all people's passion
The heart has no solace without her

2. Her beauty singled her out, excelling all
She was created peerless, without match

3. So my love for her flowed from my heart and thoughts
Unlike the flow of persistent skeptics

4. It's a love wherein desire and reason are equal
Not just fleeting infatuation

5. A beauty whose neck graces every pearl necklace
And a forehead that adorns every crown

6. Her face greets you amongst her tresses
Like a sun's face and a doll's body of ivory

7. She let down jet black braids
Flowing seemly, limited by their length

8. Flowing atop her figure like the flow
Of water, though you are in tumultuous waves

9. She is like a lamp in her radiance
And like darkness in her coyness

10. A supple branch from an elegant body
Delicate, refined in her composition

11. Her sides sway gracefully
And her hips shake alluringly

12. She appeared amidst her clothing and adornment
Like a frightened gazelle in a garden refuge

13. Then she glanced with her eyes and said
"You will soon know", tightening my vast space

14. She threatened with her glance, warning a love-struck youth
Felling him with her eyes while he was smitten

15. I wonder why I'm promised separation
When I'm affectionate and hope-filled

16. Though I'm a humble secret-keeper
Like a wound's scab on spewing blood

17. She I've never seen but that the vision of her
Returns to me like an illusion

18. Oh, a love without suffering
And pure passion without agony

19. Say to her who denied me her presence
Where is the kindness of the wealthy to the needy?

20. Wondrous! Me and the one who enticed
My soul, and the one I hope for

21. I hope my heart succeeds in winning
Some of your affection, if only a small share

22. I wonder if your eyes' magic is the ailment
Of my heart, or the blaze of your reddened cheeks

23. O people! Is there a savior for one passionately in love
Appealing from the injustice of the cruel beloved?

24. Who will protect me, the weakest of people,
When her eyes have the power of tyrants

25. A beauty who grazes on hearts with her smile
But does not graze on minds with her voice

26. Her eyes' magic has sickened my heart
With an ailment only her saliva can cure

27. And if I say "Beauty, my heart is captive
To a hazel-eyed gazelle with a supple neck",

28. Her day for the confidant is one of bliss
Pleasure, serenity, and gaiety

29. A singer whose voice, when she sings,
Flows harmoniously like a stream

30. It awakens distant sleepers to exuberance
And cures the burning fever of the lovesick

31. She came while spring was glorious in the meadows
And on the branches full of chirping birds

32. Under a sky dark as black fur
And ground as green as brocade

33. She revealed everything we wished for
At the promised time of rewards and gifts

34. We reclined during two pleasures amidst
Sand dunes and grassy hills

35. A melody enchanting hearts and a rhythm
Between chanting and humming

36. An evening between two evenings of storytelling
Making you forget the evening of worries

37. We enjoyed a night without concerns of sorrow
Nothing but joy within it

38. We made the cups into stars
And the palms like constellations

39. Bliss was complete, nothing held back
Its value too lofty for bargaining

40. With a girl who delighted us with gifts
And an old woman who delighted us with wine

41. We kept drinking the wine until
The eloquent turned into babblers

42. She took revenge on the heads of dignified people
At the feet of the lowly

43. The lowly trampled her so she avenged us
With a passionate zeal illuminating like a lamp

44. You'd see every drunk stumbling
And every critic crooked and twisting

45. What a night we spent fulfilled
Though hearts were left yearning

46. Good fortune elevated us in it to success
As if it were the night of ascension
