1 Friends
2 Beloved
3 I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine.
4 Lover
5 Turn away your eyes from me,
6 Your teeth are like a flock of ewes,
7 Your temples are like a piece of a pomegranate behind your veil.
8 There are sixty queens, eighty concubines,
9 My dove, my perfect one, is unique.
10 Who is she who looks out as the morning,
11 I went down into the nut tree grove,
12 Without realising it,
13 Friends
