1. My tears have stained you with longing
So leave my heart be and draw from them

2. This eye, we did not mention its sin
What sin has my baptized heart committed?

3. If the eye were to argue its defense, what then?
Why punish it with tears and lamenting?

4. The jasmine in the pot has reached
Its peak, wrapping its cheek in fragrant buds

5. I repent everything except the love
I have for the beautiful, slender branched one

6. Of the cursed or the chronically ill one
I am neither divorced nor accustomed

7. My tears testified to my passion and pain
My tongue stammered though my will was resolute

8. O you who blame love, wait
Can you blame the doves for their cooing?
