1. If my lips fail to kiss you,
And my soul misses seeing you,

2. And you visit me in a dream,
What good is that to me?

3. Who can replace your beautiful face
That enriches my eyes beyond the moon and sun?

4. Yet I find solace after my loneliness
In the company of the magnificent ruler,

5. And his esteemed son comforts me
With abundant gifts and companionship.

6. I swear by the life the son and father have,
It is no life without a soul lit by the sun.
