1. A thirsty man whose creed is narrow
In love for one whose quest is hard

2. All my love is wondrous
And my salvation from it more wondrous

3. I have a lover completely beautiful
So people's eyes plunder him

4. Molded from water, and I have a look
Not sated when I drink him

5. Lost from my eyes so I complained to them
In seas of tears they seek him

6. His scorpion stung me
When I approached him

7. And it guards him
From my mouth, stingily and watchfully
