1. You stirred the most eloquent pleasures in my remembrance
When you unveiled the veils of secrets

2. O rose that blossomed, fresh and blooming
Yearning for dew, breeze, and light

3. This figure is like a twig, bending and scattered
And beauty has left its traces on your cheeks

4. But your eyes did not lose their sweetness
And the heart beneath the ashes was still aflame

5. Its flames shone in them so my liver sank
No wonder if I suspect burning and inflammation

6. You let your beauty wither, heedlessly
So I make it bloom again by caressing

7. My warmth brought back its former warmth
Until I saw you blooming in September

8. Love is life-giving to the heart, making it lush
For the heart is like a twig, flourishing and blooming

9. Of all flowers, I love the loveliest
For the sake of a face that shows me ever-changing beauty

10. I loved its redness after its yellowness
When we meet, you shy from kith and kin

11. Or the chaperone walking at a leisurely pace
Lest he startle the birds with his grumbling

12. The unmatched essence of the most precious jewel
You surpassed all women, this exceeds gems

13. Blessed is God for the face I was gifted
It pleased me and my heart was fascinated

14. The cheek is blossoming and the mouth fragrant
Was your grandfather a perfumer and florist?

15. When you breathed, you scented the morning breeze
And you were not perfumed save by your mouth

16. Your generosity with its pearls and honey
To the connoisseur who chose you

17. You ignited an unarmored heart with glory
And I never thought the glance was so impregnable

18. You were granted victory and this love is battle
Joy to you, for you vanquished the tyrant
