1. A lone pianist, happy
For God is your companion, O Janis

2. A shooting star of intelligence that surpasses meteors
And a knight of understanding, he is the knight

3. Bare of creations from what is bad
And wearing everything that delighted me

4. And who is eloquent like you in Arabic
As the burning coal grabbed the kindling

5. When he recited in a gathering
Amazement at him grew in those seated

6. Light breeze, his steps gentle
A bending branch sways with it

7. A gazelle I raced to love
And I have no resistance to his love

8. And guarded from the eyes of suspicions
His love protects me for him

9. Quick to wake for chastity
And sleeping from any doubt
