1. A lover received a letter
Which removed his torment

2. He said, my beloved has blessed me
With a gift that has no reward

3. So it is right that I go to him lost
Words fall short of describing him

4. Until the eyes of his envious enemies
Pelted him with piercing glances

5. So he took the letter by force
With a trick that is wondrous

6. He is not gratified by the joy of life
Nor food nor drink
