1. Wandering, how twisted its path
Alas for a youth it corrupted

2. It almost destroyed him
If only it had destroyed him

3. Which blooming garden
Did I not reach to pluck it

4. And which delicate branch
Could I not bend it

5. He broke his promise and I did not
Reproach him for breaking it

6. Between us an intimacy
What an intimacy it was

7. He resembled the full moon but
His refinement fell short

8. The branch borrows if
Its foliage touches him

9. Above his cheeks for us
A rose above the curtain

10. Its splendor intensified
And it is called doubled

11. Languid of glances and it is
Swords unsheathed

12. I am displeased with it
And it is displeased with me
