THE FIRE OF LOVE
Who can resist being distressed by that curly tress,
Any one sees you will fall in love.
Act coquetry, that all hearts are fond of you,
Act coquetry no Beloved like you can be found.
Show your face so that all the benevolent ones themselves ashamed,
If you unveil your face who won't be disgraced.
Inflame the fire of love, increase the sorrows of heart,
This sorrowful heart can not help becoming sad.
There is no remedy except burning from the fire of love,
Cast to the heart an everlasting fire.
There is no particle that through your mercy the savana won't be,
There is not a drop that through your liking the sea won't be.
Upon your abode the soul will put the head, Oh! friend!
The soul has no value unless it is sacrificed to your beautiful face.
