1. My reproacher was once my censurer
In a time that has now become my hope

2. My inner self melted for him while he was cloaked
So it became something carried by the bearer

3. Without the water of beauty from his kindling
My gaze could not be sated by it

4. While my heart was kindled below him
And the water of my eyelids pouring above him

5. I delve into love with him in a deep sea
That has not cast me onto moistened shores

6. Do you not see the marvel that you may behold
One slain by love, ransoming his killer?

7. And the light of my beloved is shrouded by it
Languid, while my body becomes a withered branch

8. I idolized him, bending with love-sickness
Fragrant with the breaths of forgotten youth

9. Upright or violating propriety in passion
I loved him upright yet inclining

10. I was bewitched by his eyelashes and glance
Enchanted and made tearful by his melting look

11. Desire has let loose my thoughts like mares
I see him reflected in their galloping stampede

12. Whenever I see him departing and traveling
I find him staying and lodging

13. And I have an eye that keeps vigil with him
My inner depths, tears and sighs keeping pace

14. As if my sleep had strayed from my eyes
So my tears flowed ceaselessly through the night
