1. You are my soul and my passion and my eyes
And my hell and my heaven and my madness

2. You are sweeter than wishes, O my life
Nay, sweeter than visions in the eyelids

3. You are my light and my bliss and my joy
And my companion and my comfort and my infatuation

4. Say, my patience melted in love and my heart
Became a victim of the eyes

5. O my beloved, you are my dearest beloved
In you are my finest poems and melodies

6. Love letters have their wording and their meanings
And through them passion sways on the branches

7. And they blew like a gentle breeze, carrying my longing
And my missive to the pining beloved

8. To a miser with a whiff of his fragrance
And generous with rejection at all times

9. He is to me like the soul giving life to my body
As the land comes alive with rain

10. O my life, O breeze of my life
A thousand loves have fallen for the eyes

11. In eyes I drowned in their gaze
As if from my spring a cup of cool water
