1. She did not pity me the day we parted,
Though her camel was moved to tears for me.

2. She did not console me when I complained of lovesickness,
Nor quench the fire whose sparks consumed me.

3. For I am prisoner to a cruel beloved,
And my torment grows the more she passes by.

4. So do not blame me, though you add to my sin,
For my state can only end in death.
