1. Love has lost its charm for me, for I have seen
It makes me lose myself, breeding rage and spite.

2. When it possesses me, it distracts me from God and guidance,
My family, livelihood, wisdom cast aside.

3. And if it leaves my heart, when I face my lover,
I find an enemy, and meet him with rejection.

4. So now, when I behold some beauty that entices me,
I recall its consequences, and turn away disgusted.
