1. O people, an extraordinary gazelle has come to visit
In a throng of beauty's armies, mighty and burdensome

2. When the moons unfold their joints
Even more moons are joined together in it

3. The fire blazes in the snow from its cheeks
The composer has reconciled fire and snow

4. To him and to the houri, if a simile were made
Its exchanged dirhams would be a thousand for each dinar
