1. O my esteemed beloved
None can surpass your excellence

2. If my separation pleases you
Then that separation is a union

3. Your aloofness has become for me
Like an obsession I can't overcome

4. Everything from you is easy for me
Except your indifference so hard to bear

5. None was ever like me, estranged
From one like you my master

6. Without you here my life has no joy
No sweetness left when you're not near

7. My lord no heart in love like mine
For you remains untouched

8. Never will time make me forget
The bounty of your gifts I've known

9. From all lovers I've turned away
Their union is no longer my goal

10. Each day for you my tears fall down
As from the clouds the raindrops fall

11. God has decreed this as my fate
The judgment of God is ever just
