1. His eyelids heavy with grief
His tears never cease to flow

2. Your frail body sacrifices itself
His aching heart terrified

3. I said I'd sacrifice myself whenever
You turned away, increasing his agony

4. His longing grew so tight his chest
Cracked open from within

5. It destroys him, his ribs
Echoing with sighs

6. Crying to you constantly
You remain forever his terror

7. No sooner does he look at you
Than he bursts out wailing

8. My lord, do not destroy your lover
For passion intercedes for him

9. O you who has all beauty
And owns all who love passionately

10. If union with the beloved is impossible
Then so is its occurrence

11. And if hearts cannot help
But desire and seek

12. Pacify him falsely with a visit
Perhaps that might lessen his torment

13. How often has he awaited death
With illness his bedfellow

14. When you abandoned him, neither tears
Nor meekness were any use

15. He died there without finding
Any reason for your rejection
