1. I was tasked with loving you passionately
And I saw through you my detachment from this world

2. For its possessions and distractions are, by God
Idle chatter in spite of protests

3. Whoever loosens the reins toward other than you
And inclines with desire, defiant and unruly

4. Your love has wrapped itself in reason until
It has taken hold of my heart and mind

5. The messenger of the unseen has conveyed to us your love
And the messenger has no task but to convey
