Indeed, I willingly divided my love
I have willingly allotted my love
Among Shajw, Diya, and Khunuth.
Among yearning, radiance, and effeminacy,

They vie for a lover’s love,
Which contend for love from a lover -
Secure in a bond that will not come undone.
Secured knots not to be unfastened.

And whenever Shajw comes to visit,
And if yearning comes to visit,
Shajw lifts all anguish from me.
It unveils every sadness in me.
