1. Our beloved has granted you the gazelle
Since you were truly gazelle-like

2. And we intended you to awaken from languor
Though our intention was not that you awaken

3. Perhaps we prefer a friend for what we fancy
And a friend may prefer a friend

4. And a gazelle I adored and a graceful branch
You will always benefit from its beholding face

5. A subtle meaning of beauty
I made its eyes narcissi and its cheeks

6. Apples and both cheeks akin
For you - a glance since it was fervent

7. And a heart since it was ardent
You will find regret that a sympathetic one

8. In your windows obeys the sympathetic one
Every day it does not stop calling

9. Who in the sea of love is drowning, is drowning
Dragging behind the tail of a debauched one

10. But has it not come time to cease debauchery
By my father you are master or dignitary

11. And friend and companion and close
The law of love was not founded on partnership

12. So turn back for you have missed the road
