1. You reside in my coming and going
In the covenant of love and amity

2. Your image does not depart from the shackles of my thoughts
And your love does not depart from my heart

3. You were created for my misery and prolonged longing
According to my choice and criticism

4. Were it not for the magic of your eyes, you would not have found me
And your right to passion is easy to lead

5. So increase my paucity and rejection as much as you can
For tomorrow our judge is the Lord of all people

6. Passion may blind my sight so I invoke
Upon you without intention or reliance

7. Were it not that idle talk brings us down
And the slandering tongues massacre us

8. I would have shown you patience in diminution
With which I was afflicted and passion in increase

9. A heart that does not soften for you and sympathize
While enemies have softened for you

10. A critic far from your love who has prolonged my blame
And without hearing it, the rattling of the sandals

11. So I said to him, gently, do not blame me
For your blame holds no merit in my belief

12. Is your heart captive or is it mine?
Is your sleep lost or is it mine?
