0 Sweetheart, of spirit your body is created, With the black disbelief of your hair faith is created.
Have you ever heard about the beauty of Joseph of Egypt? Your beauty with twice more grace is created.
From the garden of your cheeks one rose was picked; With that rose the eternal paradise was created.
A cloud of dust rose in the road to your abode; With that dust the spring of eternal life was created.
The anguish of your love shed the blood of men of heart and mind; With that blood ruby and coral were created.
May my body and my soul be sacrificed for you, Because your body with pure soul is created.
I wonder how can I succeed to be one moment with you, For, to watch you, a hundred demons are created.
How long should I drink the wine of the anguish of your love? Intoxicated and unconscious I am created.
By the grace of your love Iraqi has a wondrous breath With which the image of man was created.
