1. She swayed as she walked, like a delicate gazelle
Grazing in the meadow

2. God created her as a temptation
To lead astray whom He wills with her charm

3. Those who blame me seek consolation in vain
How can I resist love after seeing her?

4. By God, enjoy her beauty
And defy any who reprove your passion for her

5. Look upon the full moon and the morning sun
And judge between them as you wish

6. Her glances pierced my heart
As if she shot me with arrows

7. Oh, who was it that she killed?
For in love, I am slain, and she is armed

8. The nails of her delicate fingers wounded me
And her hair she let down in waves

9. Her figure is like a branch above which
A cluster of fruit took shape at her temple

10. I will not forget when she visited me and we met
Bringing me to life, my heart refreshed with her presence

11. I offered her my cheek as a pillow
If that would please her as a bed

12. She attained by wit and charm what
Dazzled my eyes and amazed me

13. The night passed with her as my companion
Driving away the dawn like blowing clouds

14. Oh night I spent with her!
Despite the envy and malice of foes

15. Never did my eyes forget her beauty
No, nor did my heart feel lonely with her near
