Gaze on the cheeks of love that you may gain the attributes of true men; sit not with the cold ones so you will not be chilled by their breath.
From the cheeks of love seek something other than the form; your business is to be a fellow sufferer with love.
If you have the attributes of a clod, you will never fly in the air; you will fly in the air if you break to pieces and become dust.
If you do not break to pieces, he who composed you will break you; when death breaks you, how will you become a unique pearl?
When a leaf becomes yellow, the fresh root makes it green; why are you content with a love from which you turn yellow?
