1. My friend, I am a prisoner of love
Is there any helper or supporter among you?

2. I called upon you while a person calls upon his friend
When an adversity befalls him, hoping for aid

3. For you two are the most faithful of promises
And I am worthy of your support

4. And here I am, confiding my troubles to you
Alas explaining afflictions is difficult

5. I shot a deadly arrow while I was
As you know, reckless in love

6. I did not realize until my heart was afflicted
Roaming with the caller of passion revolving around

7. And my body is torn as the air wished
And my eyes pouring as the love wished

8. Yet my opponent bore witness from his distance
So ask him for he is well informed

9. He saw me lonely amongst my family
So he was certain I am renowned for my inaction

10. Then he transgressed the limits in his unjust tyranny
And some powerful ones did injustice

11. And this happened, praise be to God, you two
Are my defenders and the guardian is courageous

12. However I do not complain of love in agony
So how can the ailments of passion be bliss

13. But yearnings certainly require
Letters of complaint to be sent to friends
