1. I was not the first in my love for that slender figure
To become enamored with a beauty and pine

2. O eyelashes that shoot with them
God sheds the blood of the impassioned

3. Who showed that glance when it glanced
That my heart is a target for arrows

4. In the languor of his eyes and in my gaze
Magic, permitted and forbidden, sleeps

5. Alas, he who turns away is not harsh
But gentle in love and modesty

6. I smile as I weep tears of blood
Bitter estrangement, sweet is his talk

7. And my health wastes away while the cure is on his chin
And my ruin while he is the full moon

8. I ransom the one who taught me his love
I disobey wise counsel and obey passion

9. Only linings with magic his eyelids
In order to be chaste in love and peace

10. By God, such beauty and joy
Captivates the open spaces beneath that wrap

11. My Master, I will not spend a night like the one
In which I did not know sleep

12. Perplexed, inflamed, my heart consumed
Plundered by grief and longing, the pact of illness

13. If my ears hear you blame me
I will not attain what I seek of your union
