1. My passions for him exceeded all bounds,
And my tears flowed until they stopped.

2. He was aloof, though compliant,
As if vexed by excessive composure.

3. He grew accustomed to avoidance and shyness,
Else he'd have sought accord, which he never knew.

4. My misery is that his disdain and my yearning
Will end neither this nor that way.

5. The branch of his figure never strayed
From my thoughts, not for a day. Nor did his dinar or paradise depart.
