1. O my companion, do not blame me for the state
I was once in, for time has passed

2. In every state is a book of knowledge
That does not leave memoirs of books

3. I see the returns of love are killing me
Though at the start there was enough for me

4. No good is a love without firmness
As if its companion is in death throes

5. If the blamers said, wait, O so-and-so is for them
Desire said, not this saying concerns me

6. I met despair's misfortunes so they kill me
And hope’s blitheness so it revives me
