1. What ails my heart when I remember you, it flutters,
And tears flow from my eyes pouring out,

2. And when I see you, my tongue is silenced,
Mute, while my eyes speak with flowing tears.

3. This is only because my heart is imprisoned,
Captive to you, while my tears flow free,

4. No wonder my heart flutters and throbs,
For it is hung from the branch of a swaying tree.

5. And to my forehead a branch that sways,
With a spear fastened, swaying to and fro.

6. My heart has settled in and its covering
Forever roams and stirs like musk perfume.

7. So the branch ensnares hearts in its coils,
And the waist by the eyes' glances is confined.

8. From it the breeze blows gently spreading in its corners,
A diffusing fragrance of sweet passing.

9. It said: "Wait for the phantom of him to visit you,
The apparition will come to you and knock."

10. What do I have to do with the batting of eyes? For I
Am devoted to him, I love and desire only him.
