1. Who taught the gazelles
To wage war on the fierce lion

2. And unleashed those eyes
Upon the hearts of mankind

3. O agony of the sun
God in the gloomy morning

4. O death of the soul
Your abandonment melts the soul

5. My premonition told me
That you belong to tenderness, a prisoner

6. With the arrows of the eyelids
Of great torment

7. The swooner of passion
With languor and fever

8. What harm, O beloved
O you who migrated without sin

9. If you revive the desired
With your sweet, enchanting words

10. To the utmost yearning
For your union that brings hearts to life

11. Remember, O beauty
O you of freshest complexion

12. The nights of the garden
Beneath the green canopy

13. While I was in the exhilaration
Of the wine of your pure lips

14. Arousing passion
In all who never loved

15. You did not deny us aloofness
Igniting the fire of my passion

16. Nothing between us but the scent of flowers
Or the melody of the lute

17. On the branches of the trees
And the moon after it

18. Watches us with every eye
It sent from its fervor

19. Two eyes upon the two of us
So it failed in its purpose

20. And the disappointment of the watcher is disgraceful
And the leaves on the branches

21. Surpassed the lute’s yearning for the strings
With the singing bird

22. At the bright dawn
It arouses my longings

23. With its healing, unwelling voice
It stood on one leg

24. When the ambergris of night smiled
From the dawn of daybreak

25. It sings with a beautiful melody
The sayings of the woeful

26. A oath of sorrow and harm
The night of passion passes

27. And love is the dust of vigilanceʼ
