1. O light of my eyes, my eyes have been afflicted with pouring
On the day you left me for no sin

2. How could you forget the covenants and promises
And what you told me and told my friends

3. I did not give up hope of seeing you again
Except my patience ran out and death took hold of my heart

4. I wish I had died before loving you, O delight of my eye
Or lived without loving you

5. Nothing is more painful than the soul’s separation
So my affliction for the soul is enough

6. How can I live when we will not be as we were
To God I complain of the hardship of my distress

7. People have given up on healing souls altogether
While you are my care and my Lord
