The procession went along; in front was dancing.

O prince, with gold are the guns of the youths glistening.

Going down to the procession like a prince;

I wish thee in the prophet’s keeping.

O mounted bridegroom, no one is like thee to me.

Thou art as a ring of silver placed on my breast.

O bridegroom, riding, as an apple art thou;

Go to thine own before I snatch thee as the wind.

O bridegroom, riding, as a lemon art thou;

Go to thine own before I snatch thee with my eyes.
