Answer me if I call: Come
For the rose always responds to my state
The fire surrounds you... and love is my battle
And I entered the fire like a hero
I fought burdens upon burdens
And victory does not come without struggle
I broke all the chains with deeds
Except in my heart, my shackles remain
You are the princess... the adornment of generations
And I am the beloved, revel in my beauty
You are perfection if you encompass my perfection
And you are the wind if you paint my demise
I loved in you your successive spring
How could I turn away my shade from the gardens?
I fear for you because of my burdens,
For love is to me the epitome of virtue.
Love is my kingdom, and your kindness my wealth.
Extend your hands and fulfill my hopes.
This is me, a youth and a man,
Chaste, adorned with virtues.
Say: I love you, change my circumstances.
Thirsty, after silence, is my question.
Shine like a sun weary from nights,
The time has come for it to meet my crescent moon.
