1. He confessed what he had concealed
When tears flowed like blood

2. He was shot by an archer and wounded
In the heart when the arrow struck

3. And he pleaded for his murder
That he did not know

4. O people, is there no one
Who will do me justice against my oppressor?

5. The sickness of his glance
Infected my body with illness

6. So the sickness of my body in love
Was taught by his glance

7. If I were told, "What do you desire
Given full choice and authority?"

8. I would say, "To kiss him
On the throat, cheek, and mouth."

9. They said to him, "You have sinned
In your estrangement and remoteness."

10. He made lawful in his estrangement
What is forbidden in love

11. How many lovers has he encountered
Who weep in regret over him?
