O you who count my love for him
O you who regard my love for you
among my sins—though I have no good deeds but that love.
As my sins, though I have no good deeds but that love.

Would you forsake one who loves none but you,
Do you forsake one who loves none but you,
who falls headlong into love of you, while you delight in shunning him?
And loves loving you, while you love shunning him?
