1. I am jealous that my glance comprehends you,
And I fear that the touch of my hand will melt you away.

2. So I abstain from meeting you, wary of this,
And I depend on encountering you when I sleep.

3. For my spirit, if I sleep with you in seclusion
From the limbs, is concealed and hidden.

4. And the joining of the spirit has a gentler impact on you
Than the joining of the body, a thousand times weaker.
