1. My life passes awaiting her union
While my patience died and love persisted

2. I was an erect spear hoping for its bending
Then despaired of its imagination

3. I turn away from one with a slender waist
And a sweet mouth with pure and clear saliva

4. Is it not refreshing that his tomb
Is near and catching stars is beyond his reach

5. If ruby adorns his cheek
Amber decorated his throat

6. If I complained of love's torment, the love expert said
His coquetry makes him needless of explaining his state

7. And if I sought union he called me a liar
So I turned away fearing his argument

8. And that's no defect except that his guide to me
Is a witness against him from his own evidence
