1. A cup, as if musk is in it, I sensed its fragrance
And a companion of mine disputed me over it

2. With a face as radiant as the full moon, his dimples shining
He has a well-built shoulder, elegant legs, and a smile

3. Illuminating the darkness of night with the glow of his cheek
As the night and darkness depart from him

4. And breasts like two jars, his waist perfectly rounded
Above it, a belt of pearls, well-arranged

5. His belly wrapped by God, smooth and slender
A loose robe wraps his thighs, tied at the waist

6. He captivated me, seduced me, left me
A burning ember in my heart still smoldering

7. I spent the night obsessed, maddened by him
I woke up confused, unable to utter a word

8. Who will tell my people of passion that my love
If revealed, I hope no blame comes upon me

9. I pledged to be true, God reform him
He gratifies whom he desires, always gentle

10. Why did he become stingy with his affection for me
My heart longing for him, O people, aflame, yearning
