Do not reproach me, you two, if I weep for the body.
Do not blame me if I weep for the loved one
If you two do not excuse me, then who will?
If you do not forgive me, then who will?

And lament, you two, how love has wasted it.
And lament how love has exposed my secret
And how does what lies within compare with what you two reveal?
And where I stand compared to what you both reveal

All of me is ailing since he cast a glance,
I've been love-sick since the moment we exchanged glances
Whose ties are bound up with temptations,
Its causes linked to trials most obscene

From the eye of one whose beauty has made him such
By one whose beauty makes
That every beautiful thing is bewildered by him.
Everything else, however lovely, dull in sheen
