1. I come near to you, yet how far I remain
And how much I obey, yet disobey

2. Unjustly you distance yourself
Yet the one distancing is unjust

3. My love is complete, so why
Do I see it incomplete in you

4. And my sins cannot be counted
Unless that which cannot be counted ceases to be

5. I hurried for you while my feet
Still followed hesitation's pace

6. I have toiled since you were absent
But the sun's disk did not please me

7. So my heart became a palace
Then it shrank with worries

8. My sighing sang and my heart
Danced with a flutter

9. O hard-hearted, what is with me
That I see your edifice crumbling

10. The full moon is your face without
Ever returning crescent-less

11. O ring of the mouth, ask me
To make a kiss a severance

12. When will you see me perish
Rubbing pillows in erasure

13. You sent your phantom love
It became in the eye a form

14. You stole my sleep o phantom
When did I know you a thief

15. O phantom, you invented nothing new
You are just made to be sent
