1. O most perfect of men in character
And most graceful of youths

2. Come to us so that
You may quench the thirst of singing maidens

3. To the singing of a swooning gazelle
Enchanting and alluring

4. Drink to my soul's delight
Your sweet drink and I will

5. For it has no equal
And no match

6. Except for the one who is unique
And has no second

7. I mean the crescent in its month and time
It is a shining full moon for all people

8. Everywhere to see
And we have no other full moon

9. With my father Ghassan
I remember him at all times

10. Joined to my tongue
I was enchanted by him and he by me

11. So his love has enlightened me
And thus you will not see me

12. Yearn for any human
