1. I do not complain to you of my longing, for I
Occupy my mind with creations other than you.

2. No, and nor do I empty my heart for an hour,
O Nizar, of the mention of you.

3. Except that when melancholy preoccupies me,
I seek healing in seeing you in my dreams.

4. I do not see other than you as my master,
Nor does your love's tumult overwhelm me.

5. If I attempted to give thanks for some of your kind acts,
I would be too weary to grasp even that.
