1. If there is art in homes,
Then in the one I love is every art

2. O beautiful of grace, sweet of smile
Joy has been absent from me since you've been away

3. O gazelle of heavens, may you be pleased
With us, for in you is all yearning

4. You are the full moon of beauties from the houri of Eden
A kind race, in you is every charm

5. A night of hair, beneath it a face like the full moon
A wave of a branch above it, straight as a branch

6. Where is there for the moon a crescent like this
Where for the branch a bend like this

7. Modesty bore witness to your cheeks from me
That your eyes make eyes wish

8. So when you look, you turn about
Harut and Marut between an eye and eyelid

9. If I could buy your company one day
With my life, that would not be a loss
