1. O you whose anguished heart is burdened with grief
And raves deliriously with ailing gaze,

2. She walks gently like honey dripping from the tree,
We neither coveted her, nor did she expect us,

3. Until we met by chance one night.
My eyes grew confused as I looked at her,

4. Until I saw my vision had diminished,
One night I saw her and forgot her,

5. Walking lightly between staying and leaving.
White, beautiful, tender buds she walked gently like cows,

6. Endowed with beauty and grace together,
And endowed with messengers of coyness and vigilance,

7. They listen to her when she speaks,
To prefer her over all mankind,

8. She said to a girlfriend confiding in her,
“You will spoil pilgrimage all your life.”

9. “Get up and confront him so he may see us,
Then wink at him, O sister, in vigilance.”

10. She said, “I have winked at him but he refused,
Then I walked briskly following you.”

11. Whoever is satiated with her saliva after sleep,
Is satiated with musk and cool waist.

12. She is a bashful, lovely, difficult maiden,
At the prime of her beauty.
