1. If you are merciful, on your cheeks
Lower your veils and hide your eyes

2. Or else do not watch the lovers compete
And fall wounded at your feet

3. With their eyes like bees in our gardens
And their hearts a flock swirling around you

4. Nothing stirred the memory of you but a breeze
That remained on my palm from your palms

5. The fluttering of your dress tail within ribs has an echo
If only sighing would ring in your ears

6. Oh how excellent what I gained from you and how excellent
What the flowers gained from your breasts

7. If I say I am sick, oh eyelids' pillows
Sickness gains strength for your eyelids

8. Or if I say, melt away oh solid love
For emaciation beautifies your waist
