1. He concealed his love, so his tears flowed over him,
From the heat of embers burning inside his ribs.

2. A pouring rain preoccupied with springtime and its flowers,
A people, and in the face of the beloved is their spring.

3. O you who blame me for the one who was aloof and whose company I desired,
The most delicious forbidden love is the one I crave.

4. How to get free when he turns away or comes close,
Beauty is something whose intercessor cannot be refused.

5. A sun, but in my heart is its heat,
A full moon, but in the horizon is its rising.

6. The critics said "What is it you like about him?"
I said "All of him".
