1. The gazelles have halted beside the water
No lover hears blame in it

2. A dark-skinned one with a mole on his cheek
Sings of it in place of the beauty of the tattooed

3. As if he was molded from ambergris
And the ambergris was mixed with sealing musk

4. From the family of Ham whenever he was named
Elevation and perfection in love was his trait and mark

5. He has shaken an ashen-dark one from his stature
And extracted from his glance for me a sword

6. I have no arrows in love from his connection
But from his lashes I have arrows

7. In his rosy cheek and in his cup
There is lawful splendor and forbidden wine

8. You love him from an excess of the wine of youth
Intoxicated by cups of wine

9. He shows you the scattering of pearls from his utterance
And his mouth is beautiful in composition

10. By God, unless you admire his beauty
And say, O my soul, this is the youth
