1. O love, slow down, for my heart
Is perplexed and cannot settle

2. It is exhausted from passion and yearning
Drained, though it does not show

3. Its pulses are faint, tender sighs
Stifled within my ringing chest

4. My heart is all I have
No other pulse sustains me

5. Say why am I being suffocated
When my right is evident

6. O my tears, come to my aid
My dream has died an infant death

7. Have mercy on me, my eyes
Let fall your precious pearls

8. Love is cruel and unjust
A killer or disdainful of me

9. After losing all patience
Where can I find that yearning again

10. To whom can I complain of my torment
Who can I seek help from?
