1. How can I find deliverance when your glances pierce
And swords from your eyelids are unsheathed against me

2. And scorpions in my temples, when they crawled
Assured me that I was destined to be killed

3. O gazelle, would you come near to gladden my eyes
By your presence, if a meeting were possible

4. Do not fear my gaze upon your cheek, even if
It reveals wounds while the waters flow

5. Your eyes witnessed the permissibility of my sorrow
So execute vengeance, for the witnesses are just
