1. Your glance is sharper than a sword
And your saliva sweeter than wine

2. I cannot evade your glance's blade
Nor can I get enough of your wine

3. I suffer separation to gain union
Would that this leads to that as remedy

4. The rose of your cheek is fair indeed
But was plucked by eyes other than mine

5. And though they claimed it is double
They knew not it makes me double over

6. You conquered me, is there any emancipator?
You fled away, is there one who can make me see?

7. I stretched my hands asking for mercy
I seek your protection from my stance in love

8. How pleasant this love for me if true
Even if verified that it will end one day

9. My pledge is my pledge to that loyalty
Be it you kept loyal or you did not

10. By your life, I am a man who has not sworn
By other than your life, this I affirm
