1. How much do I want yet not want,
Oh, the sorrow my heart has met!

2. I indulge in love pampered,
Yet love has not indulged me.

3. Its indulgence destroys me
At every moment, or nearly does.

4. How can I forget the one
Whose home in my heart is darkness?

5. With his beauty he's won hearts over,
So they obey when he commands.

6. O you who've emigrated, how do I benefit
From patience without you, no benefit found?

7. Why don't you eulogize one who spends the night
Lonely, and wakes still in gloom?

8. If I've sinned in passion -
A misstep even steeds can make.

9. Contentment was mine, I implore it
Not to follow unrest in the world.
