I Have been Pierced by the Arrow of Love

I have been pierced by the arrow of love,
what shall I do ?
I can neither live, nor can I die
Listen ye to my ceaseless outpourings,
I have peace neither by night, nor by day
I cannot do without my Beloved even for a moment
I have been pierced by the arrow of love,
what shall I do ?
The fire of separation is unceasing !
Let someone take care of my love
How can I be saved without seeing him?
I have been pierced by the arrow of love,
what shall I do ?
