1. O love's flame that burns me,
robbing me of tranquility and rest.

2. Your fire rages in my heart,
stoking it are my tears.

3. If my eyelids meet for but a moment
to gaze upon your face, they will weep tears of blood.

4. Without thoughts of you, no words
grace my tongue, no peace fills my ears.

5. You have freely captured my heart,
following you whenever you leave me for but a moment.

6. Take my blood, raise your sword from its sheath
and plunge it into my soul, or let it be.

7. My life is in your hands,
take it if you wish, or leave it be.

8. This radiant smile that in its glow
reflects the work of the Creator.

9. The belle in veils - what need has she
for cover less modest than yours?

10. Reproach me not for loving,
how can blame be heard by one not in his senses?

11. Deny not what love professes,
my sickness itself proves my claim.

12. You saw me suffering from yearning
and sympathized with my companions in torment.
