1. O monastery, abode of rubies, you were watered with life
And your roses' nectar still flows fresh and chained

2. The fringes of perfume trailed over your meads
Parted by the hands of breathing, like a scarf

3. The days of youth within you passed with their sweets
No time was more blissful and beautiful

4. I remembered you and my tears poured in sorrow
It is right for my tears to flow and neglect all else
