Ah, tell her who stole my heart
Oh, say to the one who has plundered my heart,
and left me wandering through every valley:
And left me wandering lost in every valley,

You left the lovesick man with his breast aflame,
She left the lovelorn one with his vitals aflame,
a companion of sorrow, roaming every gathering place.
An ally of grief, roaming through every gathering,

And I have no share in pleasures;
And I have no share remaining in life's delights,
one robbed of sleep has taken leave of it.
Having bid them farewell, a man robbed of sleep.
