1. Relieve your heart from what you are enduring,
And keep the heart away from toil and suffering.

2. Rescue yourself from the love you engage in,
And grieve for a life you wasted on it.

3. Of youthful passions and whims no benefit comes,
If youth and the beloved turn unfeeling.

4. You were struck by a beauty scorning the moon,
Perfection on her face, its meanings complete.

5. And kindled in your heart’s core the fire of love,
Made you drink the cups of rejection and loss.

6. So be patient with love if you can’t find a substitute,
For patience is easiest for the lover to endure.

7. You’re not the first that unrestrained love befell,
A longing soul consumed by love’s remedy.
