1. Oh how I love the house where you dwell
Though from afar I visit and foretell

2. For you live in a house that dazzles my eye
And is far better than a home left empty

3. I shun my longing for you out of shyness
Though with you is my bliss if not for prying eyes

4. How many would blame me if her nobility
Did not prevent you from learning you have a lover

5. I love you Leila beyond any doubt
What good is love if it does not hide its secrets?

6. My first love died before me and faded away
If I die, the last of my love dies in its tracks

7. When love flowed into my heart to stay
It remained though its sources ebbed away

8. My heart was veiled but your love still peered
From beyond the veil to find what it endeared

9. What can heal my love now that it has seeped
Into my heart's core and over it streamed?
