1. O dweller of my heart though you are far away
My patience has been worn down since you went away

2. My sleep went with you, so after you I stay awake
Blaming the sleep, weeping for you till break of day

3. You were content that I should be far from you
For I love you, and I love loving you

4. Passion makes me ache, if you would just fulfill
A little, it would sway the meaning in your heart

5. Give us back the feast of union in our agony
May God water the days of agony and yours

6. Greet my heart with seeing you, it's sick with longing
Alas no doctor can we meet but only you

7. Yearning wounds me and no arrows touch you
Would that when it wounded me, it had struck you too

8. I fear to die choked by my sorrow
And not to live until I look upon you

9. If my heart was like all other hearts but yours
It would have been cured when you asked about its cure
