1. He came like the full moon in its splendor
Haloed by the veil over his face

2. His lights tore the garment of darkness
When the stars smiled with their appearance

3. The boughs of acacia longed to convey
That softness from his shapely figure

4. The glance of his eyes made lovers' hearts
Deafened by what was beyond his arrows

5. Oh his eyelids, be gentle with a lovesick one
Your sickness has become intrinsic to his sickness

6. And you, his darling cheeks, is there no sympathy
For the longing heart enraptured by him?

7. Who will bring me one whose cheek holds sweet water
Above the flames, burning within?

8. How many nights has his brilliance intoxicated me
His mouth's cup made me forget all wine

9. I stay awake fearing none of his guards
Though his boughs reveal the gloom of darkness

10. Between us is the fragrance of an embrace that has
Long bound me, stirring my passion

11. This is the life I wish would continue forever
If fate would only aid its duration

12. A breast within which is a secret deposited
Wisdom broadcasts from his judgments

13. He embarrassed white camomile and alas, the sloe
With what his pen reveals

14. Firm resolutions with which he repelled the days
From their purpose and time from its passage

15. Wakefulness that God especially endowed him with
Inspiring him the unseen by revelation

16. And a power that if the lion saw
He would plot his withdrawal
