1. A speech like a flowered meadow, nay it is more radiant
And my soul like the soul of magic, nay it is more enchanting

2. I received it and my heart flutters, and my bosom
With depths of my soul, embers flare up

3. A speech came after agonizing despair
So it intoxicated a soul with youthful intoxication

4. Is this your letter, or the chatter of a paradisiacal maiden
Who has lines in the book of love and revelation

5. And were it not for the throbbing of my heart upon its arrival
I would say the letter is forged

6. I love you with a love the like of which love has never seen
And love in this world has eras and eons

7. Yearnings of beauty hover around a lover
So he chats with them at night, and the night is more concealing

8. If we regret the honor of passion’s path
I confide in you, and the ardent lover is confined in longing

9. To your flaming beauty I send a sigh
Fragrant with breath, commanding patience

10. I was patient with a love that burned me with its engagement
And melted metal can be patient when heated
