1. The lightning reminds me of his smile
And the pearls on his lips when he recites poetry

2. When he roams around his tent
He greets me with wine in his mouth

3. He intoxicates me with his alluring smile
I'd sacrifice myself for him like the full moon in the dark night

4. Swaying coquettishly in his gown
Surpassing the gazelle in his charm

5. Swaying like a branch in the breeze
Intoxicated, losing his composure

6. Oh messenger, how can I conceal my love for him?
With tears running down my cheeks reddening them

7. And my heart aflame, burning for him
Please, o lightning, tell him

8. About the fire in my heart and its flames
Is it acceptable for me to talk about meeting him?

9. Shall I reveal to him what I harbor inside?
Will he understand my hints?

10. Will the passing breeze convey to him
A message from my mouth to his mouth?

11. I love him like the full moon loves the horizon
With sincerity, though he has wronged me

12. It wouldn't hurt him to be generous with me
I'm surprised by his stinginess towards me, despite

13. People speaking of his generosity
The ignorant blame me

14. And prevent me when I mention him
So he turns away, denying he knows me

15. Did they tell him, making him shun me?
Lord, grant me justice against his teacher
