1. How many bashful maidens glance coy
Smiling amid date palms and Mount Tuur

2. With kohl-rimmed eyes, so lovely and yet
Gazing with Light upon Light so pure

3. Of musky scent and hue - when she but turns
Her countenance, camphor flows for sure

4. She in whose honor blessings were bestowed
Upon the prophets, and musk did pour

5. With oils and dyes that please, in every box
She holds a yearning heart held in her cure

6. Of spirit pure, graced with a brilliant light
Confined in a pearl shell kept secure

7. Glory to He who made her as a star
Studded with gems of gold immature

8. O Paradise, your love leaves me distraught
Can you whisper to my breast obscure?

9. What do you command today, at daybreak
Drawing you closer to my heart demure?

10. Blessed is your presence, so gentle and kind
Bringing joy made visible, seen for sure

11. He saunters in silk robes, when all plants fade
And verdant hills no more their hues endure

12. If generosity's denied, you remain still
True in your faith, with goodness made secure

13. While others fall to vice and lies, you stand
As shelter and safety, blessed and pure

14. Nearest to God are houses, if left empty,
Far from all that His law does abjure

15. The best of good is this which will remain
Noble through days, of virtues most mature

16. Pour down on us from your garden carried
In a sea, with bounty running o'er

17. By your efforts made in faith, surpassing all
Oaths of slaves whose deeds have no tenure

18. Is there, in one whose heart is freshly tender
Reward each morn for you, made safe and sure?
