1. Souls have been sacrificed for you, their state altered by you,
And they have become whole in their love for you, healed by it.

2. You have captured the hearts of lovers with a glance
Whose beauty captivates all who look upon it.

3. With you, beauty itself glows brighter,
As if you were the mole on its cheek.

4. You have stolen the heart of the youth with your stature,
Which told of the bending and straightness of a branch.

5. Passionate lover that you burdened with desire for you,
Tormented by passions too much to bear.

6. She appeared to me in a vision, crescent moon and starry night,
Bending gently, shying like a gazelle.

7. I became submissive when she showed tenderness,
And saw the cheapness of my tears, so I rebelled.

8. O you rich in beauty, I ask your affection,
Far be it from you to spurn my request!

9. I have pursued my passion though blamed for it
And disobeyed the critic and the censor.

10. Her glances have slain me, and she is the healing,
She has drained my strength, and she is the rest.
