1. He led on, displaying aloofness and grief,
Wandering though he had realized his hope.

2. That was not out of boredom on his part,
But he loved to torment me and was obsessed.

3. Until when I despaired of his aloofness,
I took a draft of enduring love right from the start.

4. A gazelle, I took a draft of his aloofness,
Right from the start, a draft of enduring love.

5. He follows me in love, and I follow him,
Honoring him as a follower and one followed.
