1. Do you see an arrow has flown above the swords?
Oh, what a shooter with a glance that aims!

2. Moments overflowing with sweetness from it
What lasting intoxication from any wine?

3. And in the precincts of the mosque, neighbors
Who do not protect a lover from passion

4. They preoccupied every heart with love
And turned every ear away from blame

5. And they insisted every wandering heart
From their love, on reason and restraint

6. It does not matter if they indulged in love
It does not matter, their qualities of dignity

7. Of waists they cinched with leanness
And eyes they lined with sickness
