1. The case of love has cast me into confusion,
Subject to the whims of passion and its schemes.

2. My soul is torn - it is his soul,
While my being draws it to him, arising.

3. Oh my blaming soul, cease here -
How long will this conflict in life endure?

4. For the lover's end is death. If he dies,
That is a learned beloved in his eyes.

5. The stars of the horizon gleam in our water, but
If the water goes, the stars are hidden, still stars.

6. They're not two things, my soul, understand
My words - how many minds were confused by this!

7. And lost, in their claim that they are their water,
As we have said - the foolish stand accused.
