1. Love said to me, how can you turn away from me
I thought life was just wishful thinking

2. I said, never will I willingly let you go
You are my treasure, indeed you are my soul and my art

3. All that you desire, I give generously
Except selling my heart's freedom and mind's independence

4. Where is she, whom I entrusted with my inner self
To build for you, that which I lived to build

5. She who knows beauty through my song
And sings for you what I have sung

6. She who recites the bright poetry
Through my art, and cares not for my age

7. She who finds in my poetry
An abundant spring overflowing from me

8. She who finds my worries in her worries
With smiles as if they did not befall me

9. She who, if I fell ill, eased the illness
With her reassuring affection

10. She who sees no loyalty worth more
Than mine, though people ransom or betray me

11. She who grows brighter the more I face
Hardships when people exceed in harming me

12. She who, I made tolerate every blamer
That envied me and wanted to stab me

13. She who returns the arrows as gifts
Or debris after my slaughter is evident
