1. Excellence raised its hands
And built hills that compete with the moon in splendor

2. From every lofty, magnificent palace
Maidens reveal themselves when the time of bashfulness passes

3. Faces as bright as moons charm with their beauty
White and brown, freshly blossomed youth

4. They recline above the thrones languidly
Intoxicated with luxury and pleasure

5. They glance at passersby with eyes
That reveal secrets to lovers

6. Without intention they set traps at their windows
Ensnaring men and making them captives
