1. My sadness for you is not for you,
But for a heart that melts before you.

2. You are adorned with a form that became a father,
Its beauty rested upon you.

3. May God curse the one whose separation was decreed,
And she left your companionship.

4. By my father your eloquent words, which have
Left the ears always at your hands.

5. How can an utterance not take the lead in beauty,
Whenever you wish, it glides on your lips.

6. Indeed my heart is upon you in every intimate meeting
And aloofness, more gentle than your cheek.
