1. The lover remains awake though he has no desire;
Like the soul to the body that houses it.

2. My love defied the knowledge of slanderers, so it became
Impossible for the slanderer to rein it in.

3. It constricted my chest, and if it took pity on me
The chest of an era would constrict to conceal it.

4. Patience and resolve were depleted from the start,
As was the passion of the enamored youth to resist it.

5. The hand of yearning spread open his tears,
And his eyelids folded over their sorrows.
