1. The signals of beauty are the sailor,
So greet beauty, there is no blame.

2. Faces like full moons on slender necks,
When they sway, not the dark spear of blame.

3. And glances with words calling
To the blood of lovers - in religion no sin.

4. You are not tempted by mere skin,
For that skin is not the sailor.

5. Nor is the subtle secret hidden from it
By the veils of hearts, which it exposes.

6. The ephemeral is not the intended, but
Its traces on the eternal have adorned.

7. Ask our eyes, they will prevent you,
By your life! They are eloquent tongues.

8. Do not ask the hearts, for they are drunk,
For the beauty of the beloved's face has gone.

9. You spoke truthfully. The mantles are inclined
To them, with wounds in every limb.

10. With it the sneering scorner looks down
On lovers and reddened cheeks.

11. Farther than the canal of sincerity, they attack
When the owner is righteous.

12. Nor are the red cheeks destinations
For an eyebrow, when dawn breaks.

13. And say to the heedless, here is a path
To the beloved, you are not permitted.

14. You are blind to him, and the people in it
Beware, besides it the lion struggles!

15. Let them deny him, the raw ignorance
Does not come with knowledge from them.

16. And if they bark at you, be of the people of Badr,
How can barking harm the full moon?

17. To you from the flirts in pretentions
When the winds blow you to it.

18. You have abandoned anything else, and the self abandoned,
There the darkness passed, and the dawn came.
