1. What tale does your tear-filled eye recount?
Be gentle with yourself, for grief is of no use.

2. For God's sake leave him, though love has left him dejected and forlorn,
If you do not find comfort in him, he will only distress you.

3. Let him suffer the pain of loving one indifferent,
Perhaps if he complains of estrangement, he will be heard.

4. Do you not see that his mind is confused by love?
Since he became enamored with the lovely gazelle, it has consumed him.

5. My poor lovelorn friend spent the night weeping,
Comfort him, for he still hopes for reunion.

6. He lives not in joy without yearning,
Nor finds comfort all his days.

7. Where is consolation for one
Whose love has made him distraught with anxiety?

8. Alas, how can one find peace when enraptured with love,
When the full moon has risen in his heart?
