1. My desires from you are unfulfilled
Nor has my anguish been healed

2. O my temptation in my abode
And my affliction in my departure

3. I strayed and love is bewildered
To salvation, my path

4. So who but you is my aide
And who but you is my guide

5. I love in you my torment
O my yearning and my wilt

6. And my eyelids relish
Weeping on the pillow

7. O phantom you are my book
Of intention and my envoy

8. So describe to the darkness of my heart
My tears and my frailty

9. And convey to it my complaints
Of its love and my swoon

10. And the wrong done by my watcher
And the wrong done by my censurer

11. Describe the anguish of my heart
To its gentle companion

12. And what my ribs have endured
For its inebriated moment

13. It raised a captive prisoner
Shackled and fettered

14. Wandering between traces
Of wish and pursuit

15. Imprisoned while it inhabited
A twisted bed

16. Tender of compassion, harmful
To obstinacy, prolonged
