1. You have granted me grace until if I were weighed
Against my shadow on the other scale, my shadow would not outweigh me.

2. When she appears at dawn, you say, "A gazelle in the morning light!"
And when she glances, you say, "A gazelle in the sand!"

3. A vision the eyes behold as if she were
The remnants of sleep scattered in drowsy eyes.

4. Events have refined him, though refinement
Is only revealed on polished swords.

5. Thus the full moon resembles a crescent, and in the lion's cub
One glimpses a semblance of the lion.

6. Blessed is He who created you a full moon without darkness,
A cub without absence, a rain without mud.
