1. I send my greetings to the beloved of all people
Whose rank is unique throughout time

2. Noble in character, virtuous in qualities
Generous in gifts, abundant in favours

3. Supporter of meanings, whose words
Are elegant in composition, gentle and beautiful

4. His smiling face and radiant visage
Rival the moon when night falls

5. The heavens destined him for perfection
And his rise was joined with good fortune

6. Moreover, the passionate youth
Is infatuated with your love in existence

7. Afflicted with sickness from intense passion
So who will comfort the most woeful lover?

8. He is condemned to distance, decreed sleeplessness
And the dismissal of serenity and companionship

9. So my critic in love, cease your blame
For my intention is nothing but good
