1. Is he longing, his tears overflowing?
He became humbled, his surroundings humbly attending.

2. Affection and loyalty still exist among people,
So why am I blamed for keeping pacts?

3. Yes, I melt whenever a glimmer
Flashes from the west—my eyes pour.

4. And it's said no informer came from Damascus
Except my heart began to shake.

5. I shy from asking him about you,
Fearing all would recognize our connection.

6. So how can I strategize with the nights and steer them
Contrary to my desire? They always wander.

7. I try walking west on foot
Yet events toss me back into the east’s mouth.
