1. The most intense love for me is chaste love
And kindling love is easy for me, as is extinguishing it

2. I stood frozen, with tears melting me
I look upon my heart, and passion pulls it

3. With a stature like a spear, his neck erect
Eyes like swords, their sharpness perfected

4. He wages war in love with his firmness
The swiftest thing for him - to fulfill his promise

5. I singled out love, since he was singled out in passion
For his beauty - both of us unique in our time

6. Her quarter quenched its thirst, its touch gentle
Bestowing it at times, at others withholding it
