1. Her beauty when tears wash the kohl from her eyes,
And when she sheds tears that rain down her cheeks.

2. One evening she said reproachfully, “You have killed me,”
And her words were killing me as I tried to appease her.

3. I said “Be generous,” and she answered, “Is this serious,
Or are you just joking?”

4. For us, the short night has been made by you
Seem longer with pangs of passion upon me.
