1. I love the wind if it blows from the north,
And I envy it if it blows from the south.

2. I hesitate to reveal my inner self to you,
And I shy away if I ask you and you disappoint me.

3. And I shun my companion's love of faultfinding;
Reproaching him when he finds faults in others.

4. Can a lover endure estrangement from his beloved?
His heart is strangely distressed with yearning.

5. Even if I forced myself to be patient without him,
Patience would still feel foreign in my heart.

6. It's as if, when I avert my eyes from you,
I fear a watcher over my eyes because of you.
