O bounty that intoxication has graciously bestowed,
My gratitude to you never ends.
My gratitude for you will never expire
My gratitude toward you shall never cease.

You were given kisses beyond your wishes
She who is said to be high-minded
It granted you kisses beyond your wildest hopes,

Has given you, from early days, gifts above your merits
From one whose access was rumored to be impossibly steep.

A young gazelle whose eyes are crafted of pure magic.

The cup's heady warmth kept putting us at ease,
The wine continues to make us intimate
The potency of the cup continued to loosen our spirits,
until the veil between us was torn away,
Until all barriers between us are removed
Until the veil of reserve between us was torn away.

In a gathering made joyous by happiness
In a gathering where joy laughed aloud,
baring its back teeth, and wine became lawful.
And wine freely flowing without stint
Showing its full smile, and the wine flowed lawful and sweet.

And indeed she carries us across the wilderness when
When we are out in the desert we roam
And often she traverses the waterless desert with us, when
the day stands still and the tawny gazelles rest at noon:
Fasting by day, by night wakeful and watchful
The day stands still in heat and the gazelles seek midday shade.

a Shadani she-camel that grazed the protected pasture and emerged
A she-camel, pasturing on the hot sands, approached
A strong-built camel that grazed the sanctuary pastures, becoming
as huge as the mountains, as though she were a palace.
As if she was a palace filling the hills
Massive as a mountain, looming large like a palace.

She folds a tufted tail over her two haunches;
Zigzagging by the sides of the valley’s walls
She swings against her flanks a tail thick with tufts,
its constant work is swaying and swishing.
Her occupation raiding and daring
Kept in motion by her brisk pace and tail-lashing.

When she lifts it aloft,
When a thin one makes her climb up
When she raises it high in her spirited gait,
you would say an eagle hovered above her.
She says, “It tightened and raised above me a howdah”
You would say a vulture was hovering above her.

And when she lowers it, laying it across,
When a wide one makes her kneel down
And when she lowers it, pressing it against her side,
you would say a curtain was let down over her.
She says, “It was spread above me like a canopy”
You would say a curtain had been draped over her.

Sometimes she stoops low, and you would take her for
And sometimes she violently spews froth
Sometimes she lowers her head near the ground, so you mistake her
a tracker guided by a trail.
As if she was a delineated scripture led by its verse
For a tracker being led by a faint trail.

When I draw her rein short, there rises
So when I shorten the rein she gallops
But if I tighten her rein, she lifts high
above her forequarters a noble cheek.
Above the footsteps loudly clattering
A noble, free-born cheek above her forelegs.

She is like one who leans close, so you can make him hear
As if she was listening to inform him
As if she were straining to listen,
a little conversation, his ear burdened with deafness.
Through her ear some talk and verse
To whispers of news, like one hard of hearing.

Hair streaming from her, smooth and plaited
She drives away the flies with that tufted tail,
thick with hair, adorned by braiding.
Braids ornamented with golden beads
Thick with hair and adorned with braiding.

She follows a train of worn-out camels, injured by

She presses on despite the exhaustion that harmed her
the tugging of nose-rings, their cheeks hollow.
Of the harness has made her cheek pallid
From the pulling of the nose-rings, leaving her cheeks gaunt.
