1. I remembered the one I love, though I had not forgotten
I wish my yearning would bring consolation

2. I am the heart wounded with rightful love
So please console this grieving, aching heart

3. I fell for him despite playful coyness
Why then is your heart so cold and stony?

4. He sipped a bitter cup, yet always
Kept a heart full of affection and care

5. How many nights we spent together
May God protect those days and nights

6. Will you leave me adrift in longing
After you had been my anchor?

7. Submitting to passions and its people
With graceful patience, fulfill your duty

8. Oh, that parchment in your handwriting
Stirring love in the heart, still growing

9. I sent it to inquire after my love
His state, as he wished only to see me

10. So be content with me, for I
See fickleness in life, if you are content

11. I indulge my soul with hopes though
Impatience cannot bear the separation

12. Winter assails me with rains like my tears
That flow as freely as the skies pouring

13. My share of the week, a day for a glance
And from longing, I count the seconds

14. I deprived myself of solace and protected
My affection, listening to remembered weeping

15. I craved him, his charm perfected his beauty
But did not complete the rhymes for him
