1. You tortured the tenderness of my heart
Unjustly with the harshness of yours

2. And sickened my body
Yet did not heal me with your medicine

3. I displeased every enemy
Pleasing him for your lover

4. Who can grant me beautiful patience
For the difficulties of your aloofness

5. Oh how I long from afar
To breathe in the nearness of you

6. With a letter-bearer and authentic missive
Tempting me to kiss your ankles

7. And cheeks that your Lord
Dyed in the color of roses

8. Indeed I inclined to my peace
As you inclined to your war

9. So by the guide whom you sent
Increasing the pride of your vanity

10. Release from captivity a heart
Branded with the mark of your love

11. And favor me with your rebuke
For I am miserable due to your reproach
