1. You yearn for an unattainable moon then hope for its nearness
By my life, you have surely attempted the impossible, the difficult

2. If you love the moon, be content to see
Its radiance from afar, else die of anguish

3. And if tears will not leave you be, behold its beauty
In your heart, if passion keeps your heart flames stoked

4. Else let your imagination suffice
If you are one who turns from beds of agony

5. And be content with it, and let it suffice you pride
That you sacrifice, consumed with passion for it morning and night
