Indeed, Perfection hit the mark with my beloved
Perfection achieved my beloved
when it afflicted her two eyes with its evil eye.
When her eyes met his eyes

Her sweetness grew, and you came to imagine her
Her sweetness increased, I imagined her
drowsy, with slumber holding her eyelids captive.
A beauty whose glances have captured my soul

And so I learned; creeping has its sweetness,
And so I learned, passion is sweet
for it is as though I am forever creeping over her.
It's as if I'm tasting it through her

And though I found no intoxication in her glances,
If the sweetness left her glances
I certainly found sugar in her lips.
The sweetness remains on her lips
