1. They unleashed the torment of souls
In meadows where suns became castles

2. You see nought but lovesick souls
Or one felled, dejected or in sorrow

3. Between those who complain of passion’s ache
And the lovelorn bemoaning the loss of a companion

4. Each day they have some new tale
Of transcendent love and wretched fortune

5. And in passion they have true signs
Revealed from a noble revelation

6. A messenger calling out truthfully
Love, and love is the greatest law

7. And a messenger inviting to loyalty
And a messenger to acceptance after misery

8. And a messenger justifying union
And a messenger heralding glad tidings after gloom

9. And the rest to anything but that, which
Vies in the souls of the generous

10. Satisfying the obsessed lover with a promise
Even if the hoary weathers the vicissitudes of time

11. The agony of love fells the lovers each dawn
That was a day of fierce battle, Lord of Thursday

12. Have mercy, O sail, O solace of the eye
O miracles of the All Holy

13. O light of the cosmos, O beauty of the world
With these hearts in this gloom
