1. We are all enamored with his beauty,
And from his love we have a house of sorrow.

2. His glances have shot us with arrows
From eyelids whose eyebrows are bows.

3. He has struck the target and inflicted deep wounds
Upon a passionate heart that has no shield.

4. So understand this through taste, and realize
Then separate, though love's wine is mingled.

5. Do not be in chains of understanding gloomy,
With a mind that from fantasies has fetters.

6. Like the jurist who threw himself down
While from his passion came reckless folly.

7. And plant love in the gardens of accord
For lovers there have found planting sweet.

8. And hold to the rope of the love of the beautiful ones -
No harm upon one who loves a beauty.

9. I died to live and perished to remain
Like love's folk, blind to all but the beloved, deaf, mute.
