1. You, O book, are my confidant
Yet I fear even the trustworthy

2. I have kept my love secret from you and me
So we found peace and my secret remained protected

3. Whenever hearts are burdened by a secret
Eyes overflow with more eyes

4. And the chests of papers are easier to reveal
For one who wants to examine affairs

5. In the kingdom of beauties, there is no heart
That knows me except to assume assumptions

6. And it is impossible in the era of time that a matter
That has happened be prevented from happening

7. Many a secret I have entrusted in hearts
Like glass cups from which things are seen

8. I have folded the book from the eyes of people
And kept for myself what is guaranteed
