1. The book arrived and revived
The heart of the melancholy longing one

2. With a glance from a friend
Hidden from my eyes

3. And the return of a soft voice
That I missed in absence

4. As if you were in it
Addressing me closely

5. You remembered me unlike others
On the day of playful youth

6. Among the intimates and the
Love of hearts is the way of hearts

7. In a theater that was spacious
With every cultured lover

8. Beauty hints in it
The beginnings of sins

9. Ruddy complexions appear like the sun
And the time after sunset

10. A queen with a face
Of serenity and melting eyelids

11. She delivers verses with light
Of her feared rule

12. Her example is from my conscience
In a hidden sanctuary

13. Fenced by my passion
And jealousy with flames

14. My heart kneels in it
Between embracing embers

15. And worships her shadow
In refuge from a watcher

16. But I envy her
From a sly deceiver

17. My brother of jest and kindness
Of enchanting youth

18. I never intended a lover
Far from the loyalty of the beloved
