1. My love who sought refuge in your love
A lover burdened by his passion for you

2. He saw a blueness in your eyes that
Had expanded the sky and the seas

3. So he gave you his heart, his soul, his mind
His thoughts and his youth as the best choice

4. If the light reflects from your eyelashes
It ignites a fire in his heart

5. And if the magic flutters on your lips
Smiling, so does his heart flutter and fly

6. I see my soul has been suspended
Like a wisp of vapor set free

7. As if time stopped in its track
And sees the eternal time has marched on

8. And that life has shone and bliss appeared
While misery has hidden away

9. That there is no dawn and no dusk
No darkness and no daylight

10. The meanings of existence vie
With my soul except for love which has no equal

11. And what is love in life but an ocean
Around whose pole the ship of life revolves

12. I have captured your love in my heart
A treasure so I do not fear poverty

13. And my life away from you is in ruins
While with you I do not fear devastation

14. So from your eyes my wishes set out
To my soul like stars when they shine

15. And how your eyelashes tempted
My heart that strayed confused and perplexed

16. Before passion my mind was sound
So do not ask how it has become

17. Take from my heart the passions of my chest
For it has roared and erupted

18. I swelled like tumultuous water
But does not cascade downhill

19. I loved you until I lost all strength
In people’s war I do not seek triumph

20. I defend you from people year after year
And myself while they backbite

21. Inflicting wounds of ardour here
And wounds of ardour there

22. My love, this world does not understand
Except the burns of ardent ribs

23. And the inflammation and healing
Of a body, a secret of survival hides

24. And is there anything in this world
That they desire and yet does not elude?

25. And a love lined with arrogance
Has crept into their small souls

26. And the condition of love in the world is
To make small souls great

27. Except that I am far from them
As if I inhabited the deserts

28. I preoccupy my heart so irrigate it
With your love’s saplings hoping for fruit

29. And it is nothing but your consent
And that you give refuge to the one who sought refuge in your love
