1. Love stirred spirits with passion,
With a glance from beautiful eyes that silenced my hopes.

2. Yearning for the beloved though unrequited, O youth,
Passionately loving selflessness as ardour persists.

3. The lovesick lost security when hopes were dashed,
Now a broken heart and lost dreams abound.

4. Alas, no comfort comes after parting for the woeful one
Unless the hour of reunion can console.

5. That hour when life seems so close,
While after it death looms from afar.

6. Prepare if destined to meet passion head-on
And refuse sleep, for stubborn love brings woe.

7. Fear the power of love, so if faced with it, tremble,
Though many bold ones have been felled by alluring eyes.

8. Turn away, my brother, from passionate desire
To recall the memory of my charming beloved.

9. Radiant complexion, black eyelashes and brows,
Alas for the one who hopes for her affection.
