1. O you who is exalted above any peer or likeness
In the charm of beauty or in the softness of character

2. You have illuminated the lantern of beauty with beauty
Your light has brightened the world from darkness

3. If the full moon lost sight of you one day it would say astonished
You are the morning and you are the light for the nations

4. I am happy but with excuses from any burden
When we meet and you are the gentle rain

5. Blessed are the eyes that kohl with your beauty was applied
It made forgetful of any pleasure but you they have not slept

6. So may God protect the gaze that glanced at you
A foot that walked and a tongue that spoke and won with words

7. Days came and time was smiling
Joy and we in its protection were organized

8. Prisoner of your love, O brilliant moon, we complain
Until love itself from early on loved you

9. Sun of eloquence from you it rose radiant
What bounty, from the greatest of bounties

10. How about me and my words, if it could encompass
Palaces in their expanse with what I attained of generosity

11. And these are words led by passion
To you, without it they would not have come from the pen

12. They came and in shyness they hurry
Fearing in meeting you a stumble of steps

13. So receive them with acceptance for they hope
A palmful from the sea or a sip from the cup
