1 I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys. 2 As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
3 As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. 4 He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love. 5 Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love. 6 His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me. 7 I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.
8 ¶ The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills. 9 My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice. 10 My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. 11 For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; 12 The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land; 13 The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
14 ¶ O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely. 15 Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.
16 ¶ My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies. 17 Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.

Qiz:
1 Men Sharon atirguliman ,
Vodiylar nilufariman.
Yigit:
2 Mening sevgilim qizlar orasida,
Tikanlar orasidagi nilufar gulidaydir!
Qiz:
3 Mening sevgilim yigitlar orasida,
Oʻrmon daraxtlari orasidagi olma daraxtiday ajralib turar.
Men uning soyasida oʻtirib zavq olaman,
Uning mevasi juda shirindir.
4 U meni oʻz mehmonxonasiga olib kirdi,
Meni oʻz sevgisi bilan qopladi.
5 Mayizlar yedirib, menga kuch bergin,
Olmalar bilan quvvatga toʻldirgin,
Axir, sevgilimning ishqi dardida yonmoqdaman.
6 Uning chap qoʻli boshim ostidadir,
Oʻng qoʻli bilan esa meni quchoqlaydi!
7 Ey Quddus qizlari,
Kiyigu yovvoyi ohular haqi ont iching.
Vaqt–soati kelmaguncha,
Sevgini qoʻzgʻatmang, uygʻotmang.
Ikkinchi qoʻshiq
Qiz:
8 Sevgilim ovozi eshitilyapti,
Ana qaranglar, u kelyapti.
Togʻlaru qirlar osha kelyapti.
9 Sevgilim ohuday, yosh kiyikdaydir.
Mana, u devor ortida turibdi.
Oynalardan moʻralab,
Panjaralar orasidan qarab turibdi.
10 Sevgilim menga shunday deydi:
“Tura qol, sevgilim, oppogʻim,
Men bilan yurgin.
11 Mana qish oʻtdi, yomgʻirlar toʻxtadi.
12 Yer yuzi gullar bilan qoplanmoqda,
Yurt boʻylab kabutarlar kuyi eshitilmoqda,
Qoʻshiq kuylash vaqti yetib keldi.
13 Anjir meva tugishni boshladi,
Toklar ham gulga kirdi.
Ular xushboʻy hidlarini taratmoqda.
Tura qol, sevgilim, oppogʻim,
Men bilan yurgin.”
Yigit:
14 Sevgilim, sen togʻlarda yashaydigan,
Qoyalarda yashirinadigan kabutardaysan.
Yuzingni koʻrsatgin, ovozingni eshitay.
Ovozing juda shirin, yuzing goʻzaldir.
15 Qarang, uzumzorimiz gullab yotibdi,
Kichkina tulkilarni ushlanglar.
Axir, ular uzumzorlarni vayron qiladi.
Qiz:
16 Sevgilim menikidir, men esa unikiman,
U nilufarlar terib, oʻz bogʻidan zavq oladi.
17 Tong otmay turib, bora qol, jonim.
Baland togʻlarda sakraydigan ohu, kiyikday boʻlib,
Qorongʻilik chekinmasdan oldin, qaytib keta qol.
