1. If you do not visit, the specter did visit,
And I have spent nights and days.

2. She said the journey was long, I said to her,
He who suffers from longing does not consider the house far.

3. She said you lied to my specter, I said to her
So I made an enemy of you, O veiled wine-seller.

4. I neither carried my feet to his shop,
Nor threw coins at him to choose.

5. Nor did any lip of his see contact
With your eyelashes’ shuttering lashes.

6. She swore an oath beyond all cost:
“Do you not fear God’s threat and hellfire?”
