1. O you who brought beauty together, for how long
Will you be indifferent to my longing throughout time?

2. For you, I have tears that never ceased,
And eyes that never slept a day.

3. Your radiant beauty, its noble tradition,
Shot an arrow into my heart, from your glance that never knew sleep.

4. He who saw the flowing hair coming from you
Should prostrate himself before God.

5. Your cheek was protected by water,
Else it would have ignited by fire.

6. Glory to the Lord who created
Your lips, purer than ice.

7. Your frown, how much agony did faces
Feel because of it, and how much passion and fervor!

8. My love is old, and over it
My sleep has never gained victory.

9. My passions have no end,
Nor does my devotion have limits.

10. From his glance, a sword unsheathed,
And from his mouth, a home furnished.

11. None who fell in love tasted
What I tasted of yearning from him.

12. O my tormentor! You are most unfair,
And for the blamers, a lesson to be learned!

13. For I met all vanishing
In some of his dignity.
