1. Glorious is He who created a gazelle so graceful,
Increasing the passion in my heart for him.

2. Beauty itself chose him from among the elite,
He is my beloved from among the choice gazelles.

3. My eyes have dried from crying since he abandoned me,
His love has wasted me and made me gaunt.

4. My anguished heart is pierced by his separation,
His distance is my affliction, his nearness my remedy.

5. Gentle of manner yet his heart is hard,
Grown so harsh it rivals the solid mountain rock.
