1. Is your smile a blossoming rose
Or icy, gleaming pearls?

2. Is your face the rising moon?
Is your form a bending branch?

3. O you who deny my abundant love,
None love as I love, solely devoted.

4. Have I not tears enough
To argue for me, witness my pain?

5. God grant me patience tomorrow,
Though longing always grows in me.

6. My dear, bless me, for sickness has cured me
And back has returned what was lost.

7. You've lingered in slumber so tell me,
How long will you slumber, o sleeper?

8. You heard the gossips and their fake words,
And believed the envious tales they told.

9. What came upon me from you was a love
That even deniers openly allowed.

10. You were created as temptation for all people,
So even the pious hermit covets you.
