1. A gazelle in Lebanon has unleashed its glances
Like swords of love and cheek for lovers

2. The watering place of affection, tender-eyed, smiling
About the cheeks and blossoms and pearls

3. By God, that beloved, if he has
A covenant in the heart that cannot fade

4. I would ransom him with a moon - how many have I surveyed
Yearning for him, while he's in my hearing and in my sight

5. If he were not a moon, his attributes would shine so bright
That his abode would not be ascribed to the moon's light
