1. My soul I'd sacrifice for one who truly grieves when complaining,
And an ardent lover whose passion I hope to inspire,

2. To him I show enmity outwardly in this world,
While his love inwardly is the utmost I desire,

3. Praise God for the day he showed me his kindness,
And generously granted what I craved after long denial,

4. He draws me gently with a loving kiss,
Like a fledgling nestled by its mother's soft murmurs,

5. I awake refreshed by the fragrance of his breath,
As if his mouth were made to be its dwelling,

6. Whenever my soul sobers from loving him,
His sweet saliva makes it drunk again,

7. When his amber-hued cheek appeared
Setting my heart aflame with passion untold,

8. The cheek is quenched but the beauty still smolders,
The heart is satiated but continues to burn from her flames,

9. He feels a passion for me that never ceases,
After once being cooled from my prior aloofness.
