1. Shall I excuse my heart though to me it's not excusing
Or shall I disobey my passion residing in my ribs

2. And who can lend me patience to withstand the agony
My endurance is not obedient nor my liver is with me

3. They went away while anguish did not depart from me
And I bid them farewell while love did not bid me farewell

4. So my first longing was my last solace
And my last patience was my first tears
