1. Since I fell in love when I kissed him
My sleep was lost in longing for his love

2. I embraced his slender waist and inhaled his fragrance
So the bracelets on his wrists turned green

3. And the roses on his cheeks turned red from anguish
I was struck by the arrows of his glances

4. His veil slipped off in shyness
And the curves of his beauty swayed

5. My wonder at his beauty increased
Until my longing and my reins overcame me

6. He reproached me with his beautiful smile
And gestured towards me, blaming my passion

7. I found that reproach a sweet scent
Sent by the blossoms of spring

8. I wondered at the slenderness of his waist and was amazed
By the hardness of his aloof heart

9. I had hoped his nature was gentle
So I shook with wonder, prevented from my desire

10. I called "O gazelle, be gentle with love
And take pity and be kind to my passions"

11. I called you a gazelle when I saw you shy away
Turning like a wild animal

12. So turn back, do not shy away, for I am lovesick
And a loyal lover captured by devotion

13. For your beautiful face has captured my soul
And your slender waist is killing me

14. My only crime in love was that
I fell in love when I kissed him
