1. I stood upon its ruins, and my cares
Multiplied within me, for it resembles my torment.

2. The dwellings of those who departed from it one evening,
And left my heart torn between sadness and trials.

3. Not only did the traveling litters depart,
But my spirit longs to depart after them.

4. If she were to deal justly, she who walks
With her swaying gait on my flesh and limbs,

5. I would drag my robe's train among her family
As a disgraced, naked, miserable wretch.
