1. The moments of weakness complain of their remoteness
From the place of their contracts after the distance

2. She told of the gazelle and the deer in their absence
And their hostility, face, and neck

3. So who can attain them when they are united
And their estrangement even when they are close

4. She is in my heart and in it the fires of passion
So my tears take refuge there when they are kindled

5. And when I complain, I attribute her in my poetry
The lament of the dove that moans in its singing

6. She appeared before us, strutting among maidens
While the garden enchants its nymphs away from their singing

7. When the thorns of longing pierced him through her beauty
Their hearts and cheeks told of him in their flush
