1. Patience is of no use
After this distance

2. With boredom
And grief has no remedy

3. Except for the burning agony of passion
Except for reunion

4. What intensity is the passion of love!
What affliction is the agony of longing!

5. I said to myself, as love folded away
When they broke their vows

6. And failed my hopes
With these trials

7. And I was pushed
So I became like a sword in its sheath

8. During the struggle
What pain and woe is this pain!

9. And though I see the water, I cannot reach it
Oh, would that! Oh, would that!

10. My liver is inflamed
I did not achieve my goal

11. Nor can I achieve it
And the grave I dug alone

12. In any case
