1. O beauty of the age and delight of existence
Your companionship you have changed into estrangement

2. What is the matter with this state that has departed from
One who preserves love and observes pacts

3. And if I say, this aloofness and harshness are from
The attributes of one severe, arguments have been set forth

4. For he among mankind is peerless
In goodness of covenant and bounteous generosity

5. Word has come that the eye is truth, so what
Has befallen my beloved except an envier's eye
