1. By your truth, my wish
My heart loves none but you, you are the most beloved

2. Your love has seized my inner self
And made my heart ache as my tears poured down

3. When I try to sleep, my eyelids chide me
Saying: when you sleep, you're no longer awake

4. So I close my eyes hoping to see
Your image, the most precious quest

5. My wish, your beauty is the beauty of full moons
And your glance narrates the swords of the West

6. And your smile is a jewel
Your pearly teeth, a flaming torch

7. Your face is a moon but to me
It's always hidden behind my eyelashes

8. Your gentleness is the breeze's gentleness
When it blows over the flowers in the garden

9. Your words do to my mind
What swords do when they strike

10. And your name - whenever it crosses my mind
My body trembles and my heart pounds

11. In you is beauty, charm, perfection and grace
My wish, my yearning, my darling

12. Have mercy on one who loves
My wish, without you I cannot endure

13. Please for God's sake, tell me why
If only you knew my inner torment

14. Your heart would long for me
God has written what flows through me

15. And I'm content with all He decreed
He willed and so His will transpired

16. That I live, passion's confidante
So my Lord, if You willed I bear

17. Every agony above all agony
Grant me a strong and patient heart

18. To endure the separation and distance no matter how depressed I become
And eyes that stay awake through the night

19. Until they see the light disappear and fade away
And if they spill tears till dawn

20. What they poured is enough, they need not shed more
And thoughts that fly me through space

21. Then return aware of all they saw and pursued
And a heart that lingers in the solace

22. Of the beloved, fulfilling all that is due
And I know my heart lies when it says

23. You will console me, my wish, that's a lie
So when I die, do not wonder

24. Yes, if I live, wonder and marvel!
For so has God decreed what He decreed

25. Welcome what He decreed and ordained
