1. O you whose heart is free from love's concerns
And you have not seen what I suffer for love of you

2. My heart burns in fire and embers
While you are heedless among your family

3. Ask the stars of night about the extent of my wakefulness
For they are the ones that keep you from my pillow as I lie awake

4. My eyes shed tears down my cheeks so plentifully
I stay up whole nights of separation crying for you

5. You are the one I have found all my illnesses from
And I ask God to protect you from them forever

6. Leave what has passed in our time gone by
For nothing now will bring you closer to my union

7. Have I not had enough rejection after indifference
I think what has happened should suffice you

8. My soul is yours, though I and passion are content
With any murder, if it satisfies you

9. As for peace, no judge rules by it
And how can I have peace with the beauty in you?

10. The branch resembles you, risen from you
And in your cheek, a perfect moon describes you

11. Lightning of a mouth told of you in a blink
And a flexible stem, with no adornment, beautifies you

12. Hair is a leafy branch cascading down
And a smiling seal of ruby upon your mouth

13. A birthmark of musk in the meadow of your cheek
And ten crystal pens on your incisors

14. You visited me once for some purpose of yours
Bend, and do not make it the egg of the rooster
