1. Oh dove of the valley, you have shed my tears
As copious flows gushed over both cheeks

2. And ignited fires within my heart, though
I endure horrors, long and brief

3. I lament a beloved whose absence melted me
And shed plenteous tears that freely spill

4. You roused me while grieving, though I was tranquil
And lit a blazing fire in my heart’s core

5. Peace be upon you, not the peace of one bidding farewell
You are my soul, and my happiness

6. So your love in my heart remains, embodied
And your love in my bosom, midst my conscience

7. For you are the wish of my heart, and my hope and desire
You are the light of my right eye, and its radiance
