1. As for the lover, as you know
A burning that grows, ribs that boil

2. Spring has gone with no return
Except for the prayers of its fire

3. Every plant withers from it
On earth, in heart, mind and body

4. Passion wears out the body, and if
Passion grows, the soul knows no wear

5. Say to her, your eyes have exposed
My heart to love’s sorcery and kohl

6. Like two cups whose drink was death
My heart drinks, melts and dissolves

7. Life is long in agony, and I'll
Not be content to die slowly

8. Give me more love, I'll give you more grief
So I may hasten love's murder

9. Many wasted themselves, and from them
No thanks for the waste was gained

10. A love that suffers and agonizes when
In life, it fell not on kin

11. Naught but nobility drove it
O Hind, no love's without nobility

12. The finest passions, none understand
Among mankind, save the noble

13. Why do you cut me off, when you haven't connected
No bond or break, O Hind, without a bond

14. Ask about the meaning of pride, and don't
Reproach, you'll get no answer or peace

15. And I toss this closeness into turbulent
Seas, ignorant and blind of heart

16. And darken your youth, which is but
A loan you'll reclaim one day, no delay
