1. While the youth of the future
Was walking among the mountain groves

2. A glance slipped from his eyelids
And he saw the face of an approaching gazelle

3. It is a gazelle bending gracefully
Amid blossoming, fragrant lilies

4. That gazelle of glory in the future
Appearing in haste

5. Dawn poured its cup over him
And gave him to drink from cascading nectar

6. Between his eyes appeared a temple
Beauty prostrated before that temple

7. Poetry sent him a monk
Who began celebrating the sent one

8. His mouth is a jar of honey
That blended its drink with honey

9. And in his cheeks there is a sign
Magic descended upon it from above

10. At which Harut cast his glance
And cried out from his swoon and madness

11. And turned away from his face in haste
Eager for the walk of the hasty

12. The gazelle approached that youth
Stealthily stealing the heart of the man

13. And showed him a sickle in his hand
Saying the secret of love is in the sickle

14. If you seek to pair glory with love
Then avoid the slothful of pace

15. For the sickle is the symbol of work
Join the workers in their profession

16. And strive in every matter you undertake
For the workers are pillars, and if

17. They fall, the glory of the state falls
Then the breezes of morning blew

18. Singing with the melody of the nightingale
And the gazelle disappeared from him when

19. The waters of the stream stirred gently
The youth felt a love he had not

20. Other than an arrow from the heart of the afflicted
Sadness overcame him, though

21. He did not cut the rope of hope
He said my eyelids must once

22. See him settled in my abode
I will sacrifice all I have so

23. I must have his heart, I must
Then he heard a voice saying

24. You will not attain the goal atop the velvet
If you seek to love a gazelle then be joined

25. First to the bride of work
