1. The passionate have burdened me, for in love
I am beset by a wrathful and harsh Shaddad.

2. They are the carefree, with no occupation,
While my heart is constrained by grief and sorrow.

3. My love for you continues to grow mightily
And has in my heart a place and chambers.

4. My heart is soothed by the mention and talk of you,
And on the day we part, visions comfort me.

5. I am, because of you, distracted from food and drink,
Even if I do not get from it a scrap or morsel.
