1. She glanced, but not with a glancing eye,
A doe darting, with a fawn from the rocky lair.

2. Look at the cheek of the beloved rising,
It appears to us in the finest view.

3. If armies of her sickness camped there,
Her cheek would counter them with armies on armies.

4. From every shining white smooth-cheeked one,
The brownish mole forever hits its mark.

5. As though hearts invaded their eyelids,
Then turned away vanquished, unvictorious.

6. Oppressed forever in every wilderness,
Slain with patience, even lacking patience.

7. Where are hearts from eyelids? Since she
Unleashed her rule, she's not been subdued.

8. How often a gazelle traveled, her shyness
Warning you of her, that she'd not traveled.

9. As though she'd unveiled a white veil
The day we met, from a red veil.

10. Emigrant, when you emigrate to me, cleaving on,
O her specter, emigrate! If you won't emigrate,

11. Or stay true to me under loyalty, if she's loyal,
But if her betrayal persists with me, then betray!

12. Do you see the nights changed a resolve for me?
The lofty ones said: Do not change!

13. The call of Abul Hasan the Orator in his courtship
When it grew long, "Be concise!"

14. One who'd ever buy - with his safe money -
Glory from his generosity, so that he's the buyer!

15. As though he's the one excused for what
His hand contains, so if he doesn't spend it, he's not excused.

16. As though his hand nearly oversteps - with its giving -
The pulpit's wood with the generosity of giving.

17. Possessing a bloom that indicates the dew,
Like lightning indicates the rain-laden cloud.
