1. I hoarded his pearls when I found no one
Except you, O he whose call is never hoarded

2. I yearn for you, and the causes of passion rouse me
Towards you, while the turns of fate hold me back

3. So your memory consoles me despite the home’s distance
Yet fear of separation from you saddens me in my heart

4. I complain to God of an intention made pure
But my hopes are pinned on your gentleness

5. And my missive came to me and made me fall
Into grateful captivity to your kindness which released me

6. You kept safe what the appointed time brought me
Releasing my bodies and burning my body

7. When a man is immortalized by noble deeds, then none
Other than you in this world can be, so be!
