1. The one with beauty, finery, and robes
The mistress of kohl in the eyes and eyeliner

2. An enchantress binding the hearts of lovers
Who knew not the difference ‘twixt Mars and Saturn

3. Swaying with hips containing no twist
Nor in the branches, the berries, or honey

4. Gleaming with an essence that satisfies you
Against what is forbidden, like wine or honey

5. A gazelle, truthful in the spinning of her glance’s strand
Weaving affection with flirtation and love

6. I hung upon her intoxicated with passion
My God! How she intoxicates reason with her form

7. If she came, you’d see the sun rise at dusk
If she left, you’d see the sun in the west

8. No difference in her state until aligned with her
The sun in Pisces not like the sun in Aries

9. I'd sacrifice myself when her glance showers me
With arrows from eyelids I see as Tha’lab’s clan

10. I shun her, oh my longing and burning
For home, oh my remoteness from hope

11. I decided to travel riding
My resolve weak for hastiness

12. I set my face toward Acre exerting effort
My intent being good, wherever the goal Ali

13. Lord of cheerfulness, kindness and nobility in generosity
From a sea of palm whose grasping holds nothing

14. The sea has naught for him, so he gives it
As if it were but dew and dampness

15. Noble, brilliant, sharp of mind
Upright, wise, not foolhardy or ignorant

16. In his view, truth and right are perfected
Nothing affects them of flaw or defect

17. The mighty warrior and formidable hero
In fray, not cowardly or apathetic

18. And when raging in the clash, attacking
God fortifies him from any hero

19. He knows no fleeing when raging, so he does it not
For he knows not the taste of cowardice or stinginess

20. The prince's glory, how sweet is his rule
It has swerved from the path of deviance and error

21. He does not break a promise in word or deed
For he knows not the meaning of betrayal or tricks
