1. O flower of the garden, why
Do I see you above the cheeks

2. Long have you been chaste
To the gardens of cheeks

3. O flower they have plucked
Until the twig wept

4. If only they had let it be
Where it is pleasant to dwell

5. Where lovers throw
The lover, the lover

6. Its being has in it
Only contentment with existence

7. And if you want witnesses
Then love is some witness

8. Do not send me fragrance, I
See you adorning a bier

9. You have a body but
With it to the grave we walk

10. Where are the axes that
Scattered what it had raked

11. So be not beauty
On the breasts of the grave’s rubble

12. You are the most beautiful consent
To you between the breasts

13. Does the living own
That I see the dead as kinfolk

14. Or did you find in him
A life of tranquility, gentle?

15. Patience - do not make us mourn
What you have conspired, patience

16. And if you wanted transition
To the bliss of eternity

17. Then tell me of my youth
And of my hands in shackles
