1. O gazelle of companionship's gazelles wandering
Among palaces, may God exalt you, my blessed one

2. Is bliss anything but a day I saw you in
Or an hour I spent calling out to you?

3. Can time pass me by and still call its giver kind
If the stringing of pearls from your mouth does not adorn it?

4. If the morning breeze encounters you in fragrant Egypt
Know truly that it whispers to you from me

5. And that it carried in its sweet mantle
A heart I sent so it may give you life
