1. Drag the tail of misguidance over the two moons
Their beauty does not come close to yours

2. The face of the sun only blushed out of shyness
When compared to your teeth in simile

3. And the full moon, when it did not equal you in its fullness
Or was it revealing its imperfectness, lacking your perfection?

4. Your beauty dazzled all other beauties
Indeed, the lamp outshines the brightness of dawn that hides it

5. Was the secret of love anything but concealed
Until your attributes spread it out in the world?

6. Who can describe one whom the houris of paradise cannot speak of
A branch bent by the youthful breeze, not the morning breeze

7. Picking passion for you but not able to pick it
He stood up blooming in the garden of beauties

8. The hand of creation embroidered its gardens
With what the gardener adorned the garden of cultivation

9. Its masterpieces surpassed all others
If you saw it, you wouldn’t accept anything else as its equal

10. Its youth, perfect and refined
And the garden is proud of its sky that makes it dark

11. For God a blossoming rose in lily
Modestly blushing to protect its shyness

12. Its glance narrates the magic of Harut
And its beauty narrates that of Joseph

13. Beauty adorned it with every wonder
As if it only cared for whom you care for

14. If anything in this world could revive the dead
It would only be joining with you that would revive it

15. When beauty called me to rave about it
And removed the sleep of thought with awakening

16. I created marvels where the doubts of slanderers fail
Since I do not name it or give it a kunya

17. I obscured the knowledge of the beloved with artfulness
And man really succeeds through artfulness

18. Its cheeks softer than the breeze, a hint
Rather like glass that shows you what is inside

19. So go, my ransom, in sequence from the last
And if you hit the target, you will deafen it

20. From a poet whose secrets of their chest poured out
To you all, like flint when you strike it

21. O you whom its love came to me a comfort
To passion whether it distances him or draws him near

22. Turn back your glance and examine the people of love
Not every eye roams around in tumult equally
