1. Some traits of prey are their skittishness
A gazelle's habit is to bolt, its shadows unstirred

2. The hunter doesn't chase just any deer or beast
Rushing the hunt is ignorance, ambush is skilled

3. One who knows not the deserts knows not how to evade
Neither exposing his flank nor facing the poisoned wind

4. Every path has men, for idle talk and for consequences
You, my love of the wilderness, gazelle of the wilds

5. I seek luck in your face since becoming enthralled
You, by God, are my beloved, you are my home

6. Your gaze unlike any other in beauty
The torrent of your love flows unhindered

7. My heart was created by God to be your conduit
My night, your moonlight...outshining my day

8. Where love's whisper comes on a night breeze
Your passion's glow matched my fervor and fire

9. I think there is no justice in the world of love
