1. When will the anguish of love cease to afflict
A gazing eye filled with overflowing tears?

2. The torment of this love cannot be hidden,
And in love the keen-sighted is forewarned.

3. Tears erased the body's contours, leaving
Traces like lines of text through falling tears.

4. The extent of love only grows more distant,
Yet my heart does not tire through its reach.

5. A lover of the beloved, when left behind,
Hangs back in fear while passion presses on.

6. With me always, whether he turns from me or draws near,
Is a heart concealed in solace with him.

7. What you want from my heart is all I want,
I surrender it entirely, like all enamored hearts.

8. My peace is impossible if I lose you for an instant,
And he whose sun has set lives in darkness.

9. Impossible for the soul’s love to be a spirit and respite,
So it brings misery to my body and my soul tranquility.

10. You are my intimate conversation and my wish,
Such is this love, sweet as honey and bitter as aloe.
