1. Is there among you one who stops and looks keenly,

    who will aid me against the gaze of the tame gazelles?

  2. They stirred love's anguish in the carefree man's heart,

    and gained the power to lead the proud, fierce-eyed man.

  3. Each is a slender-figured, guileless maiden,

    whose charms were made a passion for souls.

  4. She comes in the morning with a tender turn that offers hope, until, when

    the carefree man is enthralled, she turns away and dashes hope.

  5. I have witnessed days of joy, but have not found

    a day that delights like the day of Yunis's banquet.

  6. The nearest place to visit, in the loveliest setting,

    and the noblest guests at the most splendid gathering.

  7. In a green garden whose blossoms shine,

    watered by the spittle of clouds sparing with their rain.

  8. Spring boasted over winter of the garden's beauty,

    and the presence of roses made up for the absence of narcissi.

  9. Do not serve me, you two, in a small cup, for it is

    a day that calls for large cups.

  10. Rejoice, Commander of the Faithful, in a reign

    that greets you each morning with every precious blessing.

  11. For the beauty of your face has a dwelling in hearts,

    set apart for a joy inseparably bound to it.

  12. You are our full moon; whenever loneliness overtakes us,

    you dispel it with the radiance of a comforting face.
