1. My heart's longing flows eternally towards you
And I have a passion for you that utterly possesses me

2. Despoiling me for your sake remains an obligation
And in loving you, my masters, despoilment is a must

3. Your beauty has become the very essence of beauty
So your sun, through you, in you, owns the east and west

4. It is stirred by yearnings for your perfection
But is held back by that awe and those veils

5. Distracted, lethargy descends on it, and it cannot see
A way, for when it spun it could find no orbit

6. It revolves at a distance from the center
Where you are, for your being is the axis,

7. So if all dimensions on every side
Were equal, neither far nor near could be found
