1. For me, your love has both distant and near
While for you is beauty, both exotic and rare

2. O you whose beauty I protect with his glory
Guarding it from eyes that would strike it

3. If my eyes are not yours, you're still their light
If my heart's not yours, you're still its delight

4. Is there any sanctity or mercy for one spurned in love?
When in you, both help and luck have lessened

5. He composed love poems till it seemed
The composer made you his own kin

6. Grant me a heart that resembles lovesickness
And outpace messengers that would make it grey

7. I have no secret left to tell and spread
Nor a heart left to speak and melt away

8. How many nights I spent awake till dawn
Tears wounding my eyelids, poured out

9. The stars are closer in reaching you
To me, while your pleasure is further horizoned

10. The air has softened its eyes over me
Its eyelids, left and right surrounding me

11. This is an eyelid struck by separation's arrow
Its torrential tears deluge and soak it

12. An ember whose coal would have flared up
If not for the justice of Justices that ruled its blaze be upon me
