1. How beautiful you are,
O moon of all moons!

2. How I adore you,
Though the wilderness is your home, and you know it not.

3. Beauty is baffled by your cheek,
The branch envies your stature.

4. The mind stands still before your affection.
Who adorned you with such beauty?

5. How beautifully you are adorned!
I cannot forget you,

6. O temptation of the devout, till the Day of Resurrection!
Can there be forgiveness,

7. For a passionate, raving lover,
From the one whose eyelids are closed?

8. O seducer!
You have been excessive in estrangement.

9. You have unjustly dragged me,
To the darkness of your absence.

10. Who misguided you
To be so cold and aloof?

11. No glance is as potent
As your sleeping eyes, O unjust one!

12. Do you not see I have become
A sympathizer for those in despair?

13. You know full well.
How sober you have remained

14. To reason! Your eyes
Have intoxicated me without wine.

15. What excuse is there
For one who strays from affection?

16. The full moon wanes
On his cheek,

17. Hurt and benefit are his soldiers.
If they return you

18. To the clothes of decay, I will reject them,
Or if they incline you

19. To the good pleasure, I will befriend them, the harvest of humankind.
Have mercy,

20. O temptation of creation!
Without you

21. I would not have fallen into languishing,
Rather you came and left no one.

22. Few have seen you,
And not under your control,

23. Pass by, pass by,
O you who see me - do you see?
