1. The mention of you clings to my tongue
And for your love my sorrows return

2. Why did I see you obedient in my dream
Yet when I awoke you were rebellious and defiant

3. Your lover forever holds his heart
Fearing your stubbornness in estrangement

4. If you are blaming then I am blamed
After wrongdoing, accept my favor

5. Do not kill a man who sees in you
Like drink to the thirst of the parched one

6. And I say to the dwellers among our people
You were of my character, of the brethren

7. Oh my friend, there are embers on my heart
And the passion has seared my body, as you see

8. You two, hasten to safety
Not what I have faced and you both assume

9. I cannot be patient from her, she
Flowed from my entrails to every place
