My succulent lips speak my lover's language
Intoxicating eyes, talk with my lover's eyes
He caresses this ear-ring (of mine),
to pull the strings of this heart (of mine)
See what a colorist/dyer he is,
all his colors are so sharp!
Oh, God knows what kind of secretive encounter this is!

My beloved has fulfilled my desire for a reunion,
the spark of this love has been inflamed
in a manner that they are present in the whole world
and they descend on every fiber (of me)
and fastened me to my beloved in such a way, the strings of attachment
