1. The fragrance of musk spread from the scent of myrrh,
And the aroma of roses covered this land.

2. This earth gained the light of clouds
By discovering the smile of that charm.

3. Does lightning boast to the gazelle at dawn
Gleaming under the veil?

4. The melody of the moonlit night sang in the meadow,
So they became its fruit on the branches.

5. My heart sang sadly in youth,
So tears began to flow heavily.

6. The sweet nectar dazzled my eyes,
That bent cypress tree.

7. His smiling mouth guaranteed a pearl,
Its saliva nothing but cloves.

8. So his forehead shone with joy,
Melting pearls at dawn.

9. O seeds of fruit in the palms of propriety,
Do you smell anything good that has occurred?

10. I was in anguish and burning,
Such is the rule of maidens.

11. My heart has no refuge from the gazelle of youth!
O doves of the valley, you are five,

12. And my heart is your nest, and it danced
With the rope of love among you tied.

13. The nightingale sang in the flower of desires,
So my eyelids were saddened, and not even moths were there.

14. O teaser of the branch, O guide of desires,
Stay up all night to banish cares!

15. The lover returned to me and the cycle did not end,
The crescent moon in an awakened eyelid.

16. How often a yellow heat of love made me drunk
With gentle wine that began to shine.

17. And the meadows of union rang with the goblet
Resembling melodies of narcissus flowers.

18. O people of the neighborhood, O server of drinks
With a wine that intoxicated all flirting,

19. A yellow wine that takes away this fatigue
From a place in which shame is muddy.

20. The custom of the face when morning comes
Beauty appears uncovered in a hurry.

21. Best is coffee from the palm of the breeze
With a cup that surpassed that silk.

22. So prepare my return to the meadows with bliss,
O era of union with Andalusia!
