1. O you who tended my affection and drew me near,
With attachment, and did not intend to abandon me,

2. When will I repay him for some of what
He sincerely gave of his love and support?

3. Or how can I reward someone
Who angered my enviers and pleased me?

4. By God, I still give him
My heart in love and my whole being.

5. I will not attain my request from him unless
My secret in him is like my openness.

6. The full moon rises, its brilliance
Set in a branch of aneban.

7. He still disobeys, in me, the one who has become
Smitten with love of me and my accord.

8. So I do not say, in him, the words of one
Who is content with love's different colors.

9. I sacrifice the one who turned away until, when
He feared for my heart, he pleased me.
