1. If words alone could not express,
then love's seas would flow from my utterances.

2. This is the fragrance that wafts from my heart, but
how more fragrant when it wafts from my gaze!

3. Yet its fragrance endures from my heart, for can
the heart's passion have an end, my life?

4. So the eye hopes it may glimpse but an echo
after our parting, though moments stretch long.

5. While my heart never knew parting, for you
revive in it, so it becomes like gardens.

6. It once lay barren, but you came to it
like Spring, and the buds burst into bloom.

7. So it vowed to me an oath it will keep ardent,
you revive in it pearls in their shells.

8. This fragrance, in its words the hearts flutter,
in its truth ache is lifted from words.
