1. Wait, why do you resemble this beauty?
Have mercy on your victim, for you have burdened and poured him out.

2. If this estrangement, oh full moon, was due to a reason,
How could making its reason known hurt you?

3. He spent his days hoping for your love,
Yet he hasn't enjoyed an hour of your companionship.

4. From your trials he wakes and sleeps in anguish,
If he enjoyed one hour of your company, it would alleviate his worries.

5. Before this estrangement he was of decent manners,
But today you have wasted his propriety.

6. How can I find solace when you possess my body?
You have caused me grief while my tears flow for your sake.

7. When I showed resilience, the critics said I must not
Have a heart - no, they are mistaken.

8. Ask the night - my eyes hold the knowledge -
Since you abandoned me I have not slept. Ask the stars.

9. What can a poor enamored soul do - he tried
To be patient but his passion overcame him.

10. Ecstasy divides him and yearning annihilates him
While his heart flutters and limbs tremble.

11. And you, my possessor, how could it hurt you
If you showed me mercy and freed my neck from passion?

12. This is your habit, oh compassionate one, he returned to
Entreat you until he got what he sought.

13. By the distress of the melancholic, I have relieved it
Of owing loyalty to ecstasy.

14. What fault is there in a submissive lover who is depressed?
His heart has resigned to passion and deemed it his fate.

15. And found no door of solace to comfort
Those who blame him for the vicissitudes of love.

16. And you, my critic, your blame has only increased
What I already suffered from my tribulation.

17. Such is love, so excuse me or blame in vain,
For consolation for one like me cannot be achieved.
