1. Nothing has changed the deserted campsite and its old dwellings

    except the vicissitudes of time.

  2. O my two companions—you are to me

    as the palm is to my fingers—

  3. stop beside me and let me enjoy your company;

    or else go on, and bid me farewell.

  4. Do not hurry me and thereby inflame me;

    what concerns you today is not what concerns me.

  5. O gazelle whose tethering cords lie in an open plain,

    surely you and I are both bound.

  6. It saddens me to see you reaching

    toward them from it, while you are captive.

  7. Indeed, fair women—and whatever

    is said, believe it of fair women—

  8. obtain what they desire from me

    with a single glance from lovely eyes.
