1. Take my lovesick words about my body's grief
The tongue of passion sings beyond my tearful eyes

2. And tell me of my heart and its possessor
Sometimes meaning bewilders even the keenest mind

3. He who robbed the lovers of their sleep
Do you not see his eyes brimming with tenderness?

4. My passion for that slender form makes me imagine
That the bending branches reach for him in longing

5. I see the pilgrims to the shrine of generosity thronged
After halting there at the sacred precinct

6. A people who when they gaze past their neighbor's veil
The ready tongues of scandal begin to wag
