1. The ardent lover did not bid farewell, nor did he stop sending
Flashes more melodious than the nightingales' warbling.

2. He takes aim, launching arrows from his quiver,
An arrow that strikes to the heart of the one he yearns for.

3. Take from the love-struck what you see as the affliction of love -
Tales of passion, in summary or detail.

4. My critic did not believe the signs of my passion
Until he saw tears for you streaming from my eyes.

5. He still persists in blaming and reproaching me -
For the lover is tried by affliction and disgrace.
