1. And someone said, why have you been absent from his glances
When you are the youngest of his young men

2. So I said, how ignorant is my pride in one
Whose nobility makes him eminent among the notable men of his time

3. His awe prevents nearness to him
And his love tempts me to get close to him

4. And I have grown dull, so is there a way
To spread my intimacy when meeting him
