1. My beloved is unfaithful, yet I am faithful
And set my heart ablaze, for her love is my duty

2. I am like David's martyred son, ardently loving
Or Aslam's worshipper, passionately yearning

3. Both openly declared their love, not discreet
While I in secret pine, from people discrete

4. Though in passion, I am third of a trio
As longing, tears and wakefulness my days squander

5. Both perished from fervent love and yearning
Together interred, for love was too burning

6. If I lack passion for my company, never fret
For I'm the lone planet, no equal nor opposite set

7. I inherited love's joy, but have no partner
In this I'm peerless, no rival can alter

8. My love knows well my passion is honest and true
Though hidden, no other beauty can my love subdue
