For me neglect a hundred plans;

Direct thy flight toward the fount,

To Tanina and Cherifa.

"Speak to the eyelash-darkened maid,

To the beautiful one of the pure, white throat;

With teeth like milky pearls.

Red as vermillion are her cheeks;

Her graceful charms have stol'n my reason;

Ceaselessly I see her in my dreams."
