O one whose form and character are alike,
O you who resemble creation in morals and manners
So eyes journey nowhere but toward him.
So all eyes travel only towards you, their destination

I have no breath of life left with which to complain of my love for you;
No longer have I the strength to complain of passion for you
And only one with a breath of life can complain.
Only one with strength left can complain
