Your heart flutters for her whose two earrings flutter;
With the fluttering of eyelashes, your heart flutters,
And your tears speak of the silence of her two bracelets.
And with the muteness of both hearts, your tear speaks,

ولِلْفِكْرِ حَالاتٌ وللعَيْنِ شارِقُ
And where her twin temple-locks rise, the full moon sets;
In the sunrise of cheeks, the moon has a sunset,
And thought has its moods, while the eye has a rising sun.
Thoughts have states, and eyes have a dawn,

And between ruby pebbles lies the water of beauty,
Among ruby pebbles, beauty water,
From which the fleet gazelles are driven away.
Sweetened from it the preceding gazelles,

And within embroidered pavilions is a dusky gazelle in a tunic;
The enclosure of palm fronds contains a turtle dove,
Its flank and tunics are like a garden’s myrtle.
As if it were the affection and cooing of a meadow,

A hand-reared gazelle, sheltering in secluded chambers,
A delicate gazelle in the curling tresses,
And a tender shoot, leafy among innocent maidens.
And fragrant lines in the throats that are delicate.
