1. My heart may find joy and my ears delight
In your sweet talk, adorned with eloquence,

2. And the gardens of your beauty relieve my eyes -
Pure sights spared of tears.

3. From the branches of your slim waists I see
Moons rising out of the night's darkness.

4. Wherever your homes are, you reside
In my heart of hearts, between my ribs.

5. No glance but you are there with me,
No thought but you are in it,

6. No breath but you are ascending in it,
No gaze but turning toward you with longing.

7. If not for you, I would not say to the flashing lightning -
Perhaps it brings news of a neighbor of mine.

8. Nor would I ask the passing breeze,
With a mournful sigh, if it hurts.

9. In short, my state is that I love you,
I yearn, desire, but make no false claim.
