¹Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead.

²Na hate mulmet thak belamnu hon bang ahi ua, sil khit pheta hongpai tou te; huaiah amaute chiatin phik a nei ua, alak ua kuamah misisun a om kei uh.

²Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which came up from the washing; whereof every one bear twins, and none is barren among them.

³Na mukte khausan au bang ahi ua, na kam a kilawma: na mit laivomte pomgranet them bang ahi na maituamna liah ah.

³Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely: thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks.

⁸Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards.

⁹Ka lungtang na tuahmangta, ka sanggamnu, ka mou; na mitte laka khatin ka lungtang na tuahmangta hi, na ngawnga khainiang khatin.

⁹Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck.

¹⁰How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! how much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all spices!

¹¹Na mukte, Aw ka mou, khuaikhak bangin a takkhiaa: na lei nuaiah khuaiju leh nawitui aom; na puansilh gim Lebanon gim a bang hi.

¹¹Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.

¹²Huan um bing ka sanggamnu, ka mou ahi; tuinak huk, tuikhuk vuh.

¹²A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.

¹³Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; camphire, with spikenard,

¹⁴Spiknardi leh pak gimlim, kepbuk leh singnamtui begaw sing tengteng toh; murra leh aloe, gimlim pipen teng toh.

¹⁴Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:

¹⁵Huana tuikhuk na hia, tuihing lui, Lebanon akipana lui luangte.Khanglouin, Aw mallam hoih; huan hongin, nang simlam; ka huan tungah nungin, huchia huaia gimnamtuite a luankhiak theihna dingin. Ka ngaihnou a huan sungah hongpai henla, a theigah manphate ne hen.

¹⁵A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon.

¹⁶Khanglouin, Aw mallam hoih; huan hongin, nang simlam; ka huan tungah nungin, huchia huaia gimnamtuite a luankhiak theihna dingin. Ka ngaihnou a huan sungah hongpai henla, a theigah manphate ne hen.

¹⁶Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.
