1. You were so stingy even with paper
To a depressed one in turmoil

2. With what have you been frugal for me
You withheld the breath I gasp

3. O full moon that rose
In the wings of a night that darkened

4. O a fleeing gazelle
That captivates the lions with its eyelids

5. O a supple branch
To which my heart clung

6. Be gentle with whom you love
In you is torment and insomnia

7. A secret-keeper who never
Understood you all nor spoke

8. I've never seen a lover
As sincere in love as I am

9. You brought two opposites together
Fire and pouring water

10. So my heart is aflame
And my eyes are drowning

11. And I have loved you for years
Seven in succession

12. I am content with your talk
And your companionship however it may be
