1. My poetry was stolen by your beauty
So I went around covering paper with it

2. How much I said and my words were wondrous
Glory to the Creator and what He created

3. The Pope leaves his prayers
To kiss your necklace and nape

4. And the heart of the monk is ablaze
Like incense burning in the altar

5. If you let down your hair for me at dusk
From your cheek the sunset emerged

6. Your cheeks when they blushed shyly
Were like a pomegranate ripening in the sun, split open

7. And poetry was like pearls that kept me awake
While your forehead was like the rising dawn

8. Your eyelids are languorous with kohl
And my eyelids languid from insomnia

9. Your waist is drowned in a grassy hillock
Without it my heart would not have drowned

10. Your green anklet pulled
My heart so it came to love confusion

11. Pass by me, sway, and smile
So I can smell fragrance and see anxiety

12. Woe to the lover if your eyes glance
And woe if they glance again

13. No gazelle meets a gazing gazelle
Or lightning in the darkness flashes lightning

14. With more intense and dazzling than a gaze
If the pupil meets a pupil
