Love’s ravages upon the lover’s body
Love’s affliction in the lover’s body
The pain of love in a lover's body
are lovelier than jewels upon a neck.
Is lovelier than jewelry upon a shoulder.
Is better than an ornament on a neck

No lover is one who bears no witness
He who has no sign
He who has no witness
in his body to love’s wasting pain.
Of wasting in his body is no lover.
Of the emaciation in a lover's body
