1. I was patient, though patience towards you is difficult,
And death for a lover because of passion for you is easy.

2. Won't your eyes show mercy to one whose heart
Holds constant agony and sighing because of you?

3. And the wakefulness of an eyelid that can barely rest,
And the weakness of an eye that can hardly turn.

4. For you have no equal, when I look
At those who love you, you have no peer.
