1. With burning grief and daily flowing tears
My life divided between sorrow and crying out

2. And a beloved who pained me after turning away
With rejection and avoidance

3. Graced with beauty and charm as my heart
Is graced with longing and turmoil

4. The one whose words intoxicate and charm
Enchanting hearts and minds

5. He visited submissively so I kissed him happily
And reproached him while clutching his robe

6. I said my beloved how can you be so cold
And avoid me when I love you so dearly

7. Oh my joy, comfort, healing and pain
My suffering, my malady, my gloom

8. You took away my contentment, patience, reason
Tranquility, peace, and my youth

9. Does it suit a lover to be so rejected
When he desires nothing but nearness

10. My nights pass in anxiety and my days
Go by in torment

11. Among my family and friends I became
Secluded, lonesome, and isolated

12. Your rejection has been long my lord
As the nights pass like the clouds

13. He was silent out of shyness and gave
No answer, so tears became my reply

14. Blushing appeared on his cheek, he drew
His veil to hide his rose complexion

15. I made excuses - the cruel days wronged me
And the nights were unjustly wrathful

16. I concealed my beloved's eyes from mine
And kept him in my wounded heart

17. So when I wished to see him
I spoke to him from behind a veil

18. I said some words though they may have been
What the lovesick utter to end the speech

19. The turtledove is kinder to lovers
Than the separation of dear ones
