1. Have you resolved to avoid me or just pretend?
Is there in your heart a place for anyone but me?

2. Does it not please you that my soul is humbled,
While the like of my soul is not humbled?

3. You have set my heart aflame, yet you don’t care.
In it is a yearning for you that cannot be quelled.

4. Ask your eyes what has changed them so,
My blood and my blood are forbidden, they cannot be made lawful.

5. The lovers lied when they said,
"Ask for distraction or it will be forgotten in time."

6. I am not forgetting, we are a people,
When we are rightly guided, we do not go astray.

7. I see my days with you folding up,
As if you were the sun and the days mere shadows.
