The lovesick one's liver—how it melts!
How the liver of the lovesick melts away
What hearts suffer from eyes!
What hearts endure from eyes cannot be measured

The lovesick one's body—how do you see it?
See how the body of the lovesick is wasted
An anguish with no physician but him.
A yearning that has no remedy but itself

Where, where is sleep, O eyes of one
Where, where is sleep, O my eyes, from

The heat in his vitals and the watcher over him

O abode of love, you are empty of patience;
O, place of love, you are empty of my beloved
so forgetfulness has no share in you.
So longing has no share in you
