1. Keep in touch though we're apart
And heed my covenant of old

2. Despite the envious at heart
Fulfill your promise to uphold

3. My joy in our closeness
My fortune and delight

4. The full moon brought our nearness
I've attained what I wished this night

5. My tears now flow as one
My burning love subside

6. On my night of bliss
My trysting place purified

7. I sipped from my cup
Amid basil and roses

8. From hands soft and delicate
Of a beauty with perfect poses

9. One moment “take my cup”
Another “here is my cheek”

10. If I say “O thousands beloved”
He says “O thousands your meek”

11. Or if he gave the mixed wine to others
He favored me alone to drink

12. In his love forget my blame
And cast off my sanity I think

13. The fire of my love for him
Is paradise everlasting for me
