1. Shall I obey if you command me and sacrifice myself for you
Even if there was something beyond the soul that could redeem you

2. I lay down troubled in my bed at night
As does anyone who thinks of you

3. Reviewing images of love and its seasons
From every complacent one in denial abandoned

4. From a saddener, a stirrer, and from one invigorated
A mountain weakened and crumbled by my resolute determination

5. And an old secret love for you I have concealed
Forever, and another apparent battered and contused

6. And for many hopes in you I have confined
Fearing that if they materialize, it would lead to your death

7. Like a bird, if only it could fly, it would hasten
Thirstily toward life through your air

8. I unleashed them and unshackled them
Until I reached you with the accomplished intent

9. So I drew near until when I embraced you crying
And surrounded you with a halo to protect you

10. But imagination was unfulfilled, and attempts
Were tormented by your hands

11. And you fell ill, and I, most wretched in recollection
Wept for your sake whenever they mentioned you

12. The troop of illness and that is your troop in passion
From which era did they start to invade you

13. My flower, I did not know, was it the sweat of grief
That covered you, or the dew rising above you

14. And you were thirsty, I almost sacrificed my tears
If only I knew they would quench your thirst

15. And I wished that life itself would change
To water, and I am its water with which I water you

16. But that is the life of a miserable pouring
That has experienced misery from what you endure

17. You filled me with crying that it turned bitter
So it became like tears that do not avail you

18. Be gentle with my mind that you know
Has been abandoned barren from your valley

19. It placed hope in your field and swore
By love and loyalty not to transgress you
