1. I yearn while my heart is consumed with love
And tears rain from my eyelids' clouds

2. My resolve is shattered though passion remains unabated
My pledge to resolve was sound and complete before

3. Alas, how many agonized sighs rend me
Breaking my bones and ribs through and through

4. None provoked me except wanton, warbling doves
Strange and alighting in the midst of dwellings

5. No dove has ever felt what I feel
Shaded by the boughs amid the thickets

6. And a hawk swooped down to terrorize her
At dawn, as she headed towards her fledglings

7. His claws did rip her, while he is urged on
Leaving gashes in her breast and heart

8. The day we parted I was filled with dread
Unable to bear their farewell, for parting is dire

9. Oh my heart, when their riding beasts were stirred
And trunks were loaded with loves and provisions

10. Then the blamers came to rebuke me
But I do not heed the blamers' words
