1. Alas for a heart in pain
That cannot be healed

2. I carry its torment in my soul
As tears rain from my eyes

3. O you who were harsh with me, be gentler now
After them, I cannot rest

4. You have strewn the thorns of separation
All over my bed

5. O you who reproach me for loving them
Do not hope I will give them up

6. Do not think that because
I have left my loved ones

7. That they have left me
O my burning heart, you are torn
