1. Let Nu'man's staff or sand dunes delight,
None has tossed my heart but the eyes of eyes.

2. And my heart fell in love with one whose glance
Kills me, and with another glance he revives me.

3. My soul suffers, and the bend of his eyelashes hurts it
By breaking it, so it hurts it, and hurts me.

4. He resembles a branch in height and slenderness
And resembles a spear in color and softness

5. Tell him we entered his garden and meadow
Even though, like a mole, it has something like a gap between the teeth

6. And he said, while his lips were picking his rose:
"If I pick it, he picks me"

7. I separated the "noon" of the mole, or I returned
My two "noons" from him, and the mole was like the "noon"

8. And if I had bought his smile's kiss with my soul
I would know that I am not cheated

9. A mouth like the letter "meem", and in it a smiling "seen"
And the mind is lost between the "meem" and the "seen"

10. The smile shows a string of pearls from his kiss
The pearls of his mouth are not hidden

11. If the beauty of the innocent one had not risen
My heart would not have been afflicted with one smitten

12. If I try patience, my soul does not obey me
Or if I shun him, my heart does not release me

13. And if you see my passion for him
Is intentional, his coyness makes me coy

14. O he whose turban's pleats
Reminded us of the day of martyrdom

15. I envy a necklace you are wearing
And how can that neck get it instead of me?

16. If it weren't for you I'd never say this, O my eye
My generosity and my tears, just be this way

17. And I said to my soul, of my love and my affliction
In love, O soul, console me; in passion, console me!
