1. We complained with glances of eyelids
To preserve our affection and devotion

2. When we doubt, we avoid it
Adorning ourselves to deny doubts

3. We counter people’s doubts with rejection
So skepticism blocks out certainty

4. We only trusted glances as messengers
Cautious of the envious or suspicious

5. We weren't dishonest if we avoided
Trusting left over right

6. I almost, out of intense care, warn
My beloved about the signs of doubts

7. I see your love in it has wisdom
While people's love is a kind of madness

8. So whoever cries out for help publicly
There is no trustee among loved ones

9. Is it good, my beloved, that you see me
Sincere in devotion while scorching me?

10. O you molded from goodness and light
While all people are of water and clay

11. God forbid, these are not the meanings
And this beauty is not from vile water

12. But you are of pure, splendid light
Refined with blessed water

13. If you were human like us
What is this light on the brow?

14. So your face is signed with a shape
And your body cloaked in a soft robe

15. As if the breeze playing with branches
Folded its limbs around it

16. The gazelle of land made my heart suffer
Hoping I'd choose you and you choose me

17. If we both complained
Why would I fear you or you fear me?
