1. His thirsty, enamored heart suffers
Drinking illusions from cups of wishes

2. His heart is thirsty for you, so pour
The scent of passion and the shade of intimacy

3. And remember his heart, prisoner of meaning
And fill the cup with the wine of tenderness

4. He is a lover, and you are his love
He is in you, melting soul, vanishing

5. You are in his whisper, most intimate
And in his silence, most beautiful songs

6. He burns with love for you
And calls you from behind the smoke

7. Swimming in passion for you, yearning for your hand
A poet reaching for meanings

8. Where can he find you, where did his complaints die
And their echoes fade on the tongue

9. He is thirsty for your river, yearning
Eager for the sweet shadows

10. Lost in yearning, his soul desires
A wanderer asking the darkness about being

11. Thirsty drinking the burning blood
Suffering from thirst as he suffers

12. You are in his heart, life and all love
All passion and all desires

13. In you all beauty, in you sincerity and beauty
And in you all virtues have gathered

14. His heart has given itself to none but you
Yet it has tasted from you only humiliation

15. So give him, oasis of love, shade
And scatter around him the dew of meadows

16. Pour dawn into his darkness and sprinkle
In his misery the rustle of heavens

17. He wanders consumed, living and dying
Between the tyranny of passion and the injustice of time

18. Dead though not dead as people know
Yet dying every instant
