1. Why does rightfulness flee from you?
You killed without being a killer,

2. How could you turn away from my affection?
While my love for you was ever loyal.

3. O you, epitome of beauty and meaning,
Adorned with pearls and anklets' tinkle.

4. Favor me in my poverty with a visit,
To break the messages that between us dwindle.

5. And be mindful of God regarding one made frail,
Who bears the burden of passions grown cumbersome.

6. In you lies the cure for his discontent,
With an embrace to match what sorrows crumple.

7. Renew your bond to him, your wont renew,
To a body sickness has left shrunken and feeble.

8. None but you can sate the pouring of his tears,
Spilling for love of you, imploring and restless.
