1. O manifestation of sublime beauty
And abundant grace and charm

2. O branch that leaves those enamored bewildered
With a slender waist and perfect form

3. You have arrived like a sharp and polished sword
With kohl-lined eyes that slay from every angle

4. And your love has vanquished me, my master
Leaving this ailing heart torn asunder

5. Have mercy on one whose brief rest is disturbed
Throughout the long and sleepless nights

6. And go gently with one made distraught by passion for you
Beyond friends, lovers, and companions

7. And beyond the many who boast and pretend
Just for your eyes, while I seek only the little I have

8. You've burdened these hands, even if after
You've abandoned this heart, vast and welcoming

9. I've come to you with no injustice
Except to be met with beautiful patience
