1. Without you, weeping becomes lost
With you, hope remains gathered

2. Without you, words become misguidance
With you, yearning remains preserved

3. If you abandon me, I will remain residing in the wilderness
If you lament for me, I listen and obey

4. Sleepless from yearning for your beauty
Where can sleep find the sleepless eye?

5. Insomnia has wasted me from seeing others
Tears have flooded my eyes

6. For your sake a heart has been overturned in passion
A body lies slain by the spears of reproach

7. Caravans from all quarters traveled before it
To you this journey finds its way though lost

8. By the morning your faces revealed
The heavens in your cheeks have dawned

9. And signs of recognition you have strung as necklaces
An infant of perfection suckling their milk

10. With a prevailing passion the secret of your glory spreads
Though against my will, through my heart it courses

11. And tears of wounded eyes stream
Down cheeks, cleft from their flowing

12. A fire which longing fans its embers’ flames
Its heat melted for you, O heart rending thorns

13. For you are our patrons and we your servants
Even if we were to be stripped bare and starved for you

14. Through you our life is sweet for a time
Else its barren ruins would be desolate spring

15. You are the highest principles, us your branches
And branches obtain the rule of principles
