1. O lightning that reminds of a beautiful, fluttering gazelle
Whose breath carries the fragrances of musk and ambergris

2. It commanded me to abandon the harshness of obligations
That make my eyes continuously weep out of yearning for it

3. I wished for the one I love, though he is my killer
And the wishes of a man often lead to his demise

4. Yet I was not cautious, attracted by his gentle affection
As he swayed intoxicated while the cups were heated

5. We shed blood in our love for him and tears
While he oppressed us with the injustice of his embrace

6. Still, fervent longing did not cease rising high
For the most beautiful of visions I adore

7. His appearance, his lips, his temples and his cheeks
Are like the dawn sun, pearls, musk, and fragrant branches

8. Of basil, chamomile, roses - they are all similar
