1. I have a beloved, my eyes are fixed on him
In gardens and delights

2. Yet my heart from his aloofness
Is in torment and anguish

3. Dark-complexioned, he captured my heart
Fairer than my eyelids

4. Does our reunion have an appointed time
To heal my aching heart?

5. I said, as my tears flowed copiously
Oh companion, have mercy and be gentle

6. With my weeping, for it finds
Naught but tears of anguish

7. Oh my love, you have left with my heart
May God above be your judge

8. Return my heart which strayed from me
And wandered lost in yearning

9. With my destitution, my brokenness
My humility toward you as a suppliant

10. Take pity on my state
You know well my condition
