1. A glance that wounds me
And melts my insides with its shell

2. I conceal his love, denying it
While tears expose me with their downpour

3. Oh for the sufferer, what can be said
Of one afflicted with love to the extent of shunning a thousand others

4. I exhaust my tricks in love
As I exhaust my deepest thoughts trying to describe him

5. I was raised on the gentleness of forgetfulness
Due to the extreme softness and kindness

6. And I imagine the wishes
His mouth intoxicated me without a sip

7. Leading the hearts of all
With his eternal beauty and charm

8. Oh my heart, how hard
Despite the softness of his affection

9. And I say to him when
Our palms touched palm to palm

10. My master, your loyalty to your promises
Was true loyalty indeed

11. Can you swear to me by a kiss
And a return of cheek or the scent of his temple

12. He answered me with words
That matched the magic of his glance

13. I fear you will wilt it
With the breaths of youth when plucking it
