1. The glance of the one with tender eyes
Shot the arrow of his gaze like lightning

2. And cast it violently due to
His burning passion that makes him tremble

3. She said you have set out to seduce
So look how your arrow has gone astray

4. I replied no, by Him who
Made daylight our livelihood

5. I am on the path of passionate love
So I tie together lovers firmly

6. Far from it! I cannot be diverted
Or told "Beautiful is the dew's radiance!"

7. It is He whom the backs of the noble
Camels did not leave thirsty

8. Ever since He stood by the Most High
As an immense ocean surging high

9. The souls of envious people died
In their hatred, and merit lived on

10. If clouds were to compete with Him
You'd see them pouring down showers

11. The lion senses fury
At his mighty awesomeness

12. Over the lamp of His brilliant brow
You'd think them to be moths
