1. My happiness, recite to me words that are gentle
How wonderful is the voice that endears the mouth

2. Your voice has tunes like the strings of a singer
That made us passionate and weep at dusk with melody

3. I see pain in the heart with every pleasure
And pleasures were nothing but agony

4. You say the best of love is that which longing for it lasts
So do not be but a lover feeling injustice

5. If there was no promise, I would be content with a greeting
And if you did not greet me, I would be content with a smile

6. And if you are like a queen in your beauty
I am a lad who is still enamored with beauty

7. So do not deprive me of the blessing of good fortune that
I would be ahead of its people in

8. Your laughter is radiant to death and love
Have you not heard it humming with melody?

9. It is nothing but fresh like the spring
And it is nothing but burning like flames

10. My dear, the morals of youth are beautiful
So do not deprive them, O my happiness, of enjoyment

11. And life is nothing but heedlessness, so take
Something of love as provision, or melt regretting

12. Make a stream flow for me and open your heart like a flower
And flutter a breeze through the branches being gentle

13. Sing jokingly to me and imitate a dove for me
And watch the full moon and stars with the lovers

14. By your life, taste the bliss of this life
So you will know the meaning of happiness and heaven
