1. A tale of blame and old passion
My being shivers from its chill heat

2. A garden wherein a watcher lies in wait for us
Would that a gentle breeze had wafted him away

3. A cheek whose down I glimpsed afire
A flame that consumed my tender heart

4. Wherein did my heart swoon when he walked
Along the path of the slim and upright

5. A lavender atop the radiant cheek
And a rose on the water of bliss

6. A tooth from my eyes' delusion with it
Drawing immaculate water from the spring

7. My body seemed in my tears to have seen
A well-ordered pearl necklace and gems

8. Spare my breath O my tears
For it is fire and my body tinder

9. At dawn I praised the pearly specks
O ye who looked upon the hair of an amazed night

10. My watcher slept, arise O cupbearer
And say O boon companion

11. Joys are not born unless
The scions of generosity meet

12. A slender golden girl - marvel at her
Her texture deviant yet upright

13. I sipped her goblet and the pitcher
Both seemed to me therein a draft
