1. Oh, You who quench the sweetness of death when
The lover and beloved meet

2. Death is but joy and bliss
A thing I savor and delight in

3. By God, it's not in my nature
To feel aversion, O wise one

4. If naught but the soul remains
It shall prevail, not disappear

5. Enough for us - how could we grieve
When it's salvation from worldly veil?
