1. The heart grew sick
Love returned feverish

2. And longing grew frail
When it saw a fleeting flash

3. Then the caravan spent the night thirsty
And tasted no sweetness

4. That was long ago in India
When the heart bid farewell distressed

5. When she appeared before me and displayed
Clearly her rosy complexion

6. And the agony of her flavor was bitter
Like the white sand dunes

7. She secretly sent word to us
And quickly turned away furtive

8. To meet with me until
The dark night dressed in its width

9. As if the honey and the sweet
Were blended with the fresh water

10. It started gnawing on it
After you’d tasted bitterness
