1. Ask the sky about the infatuated one, did he sleep
Or stay up wandering deliriously like a wavering pillar?

2. No, and since the dancers left I have not known
Sleep to my eyes, nor have their tears ceased flowing.

3. When will the days return that brought us together
While life was fresh and the torment of love lay dormant?

4. If your aim is to destroy the anguished one, who then
Could ward off your advancing army if it marched forth?

5. You've shunned me to destroy me, and I have no recourse-
So let me die, my cheek resting upon your doorstep.
