1. Ask what burns my heart
Though it is faithful to your covenant

2. Glorifying your name, my intimacy
To the glory of your majesty

3. Called by the caller of passions
So it comes rushing to you

4. It would melt away in yearning
If it were not the house of your watchfulness

5. Loving affection touched me to you
Stirring latent passion

6. I guarded it an age
Against the torment of your distance

7. Nights passed over me
You would not approve for your servant

8. My practice is to wail until
A star of your good fortune gladdens me

9. You are my aim, you are my goal
As I am the prime of your goals

10. We have a strong bond
Preserve it with your effort

11. God protected my heart
For it is the home of your love

12. I cast anchors in it
To cut the tie of your opposition

13. Loyalty to you belongs to it
So there is no way to your ingratitude

14. Far be it you break my covenant
Or test me with your rejection

15. Through you is life, else
I lose myself in losing you

16. You captivated my heart kindly
With that you singled out, by yourself

17. May God eternally grant you
Banishment to me by your lightning
