1. O full moon, gloom carried by a twig I see you on
How strange is what happens to me when I see you

2. Don't kill a passionate lover with aloofness
The bedouins cannot handle the Turks

3. How much you kill me, yet killing is not allowed
How much you avoid me, yet union is found with others

4. I asked nothing about you my master, I asked nothing
Is anything in life forbidden and not made easy?

5. I swear by the dimple of this eyebrow
By the twist of its excuse and the letter noon of the eyebrow

6. If it was seen by Ibn Muqla and As-Sāhib
They would say "How amazing, the best of writers"

7. A watcher of what you did to me, a watcher
Oh morning sun, on a slender twig

8. How my killer wounds me with the sword of sight
Without doubt, love is not blameworthy to its watcher

9. No comfort for me but to drink from the comforter
From the swaying cup revolving with cups

10. Appearing like dawn, and it like a lantern
Intoxicated of glance, with a sober heart

11. Oh freckle of his cheek, oh beauty spot like a mole
Did time ever bring its equal, empty time?

12. This is not the beauty of the anklets' mistress
In the two worlds there is no heart left empty

13. I am pleased if you are pleased with my ruin
Did your love make me anything but in ruin?

14. The gardens of your cheeks, prime and pleasing
I spend my time in misery, and my need is not fulfilled

15. Oh sword of his smiles, oh spear of the cheek
Who embroidered the excuse with the field of the cheek?

16. I never cease picking it, and praise is to God
Your glances make me drunk, and my heart confused

17. I rave in its torment, it has overwhelmed me
I am dying of love, and for me is another discourse

18. If you are the Messiah, then I am Lazarus
Oh what a pity for the shaker, the soft and gentle one

19. How good he is, even to a hardened heart
He trembles as if he is the rod of the staff

20. Intoxicated, though he never tasted fermented drinks
She expressed wonder at her passionate lovers and said:

21. Is my blood price anything but your blood?
Remembrance in my time has no mention

22. The full moon draws light from the sun
The whore desires only the paramours

23. While the sorrowful lover is transient
Can the stumbler repent with a cup?

24. Who brings an angel closer to satisfaction?
