1. Place upon my heart the comfort of patience, for I
Am weakened, neither extending nor clenching my hand.

2. The bitterness of sorrow in the heart is a downpour of tears,
Just as the outpouring of grief brings about blindness.

3. My resting place is desolate with no respite,
And how can one like me find solace or sleep?

4. I have been weakened by a love that goes no further than you for a moment,
I have become frozen, neither coming nor going.

5. My conscience is filled with love for you alone,
And without doubt, lamenting must be left for duty.

6. I have been weakened, so excuses empower me with wishes,
And how much vain hope for one of pure generosity and pure duty!

7. I have been engrossed with my secret from you, and sometimes
I have disclosed to some your secret from others.

8. I have promised you complete submission from me because
In any case, I am satisfied with what you decree.
