1. Our beloveds, the talk of parting occupies them
From reproach, but the chest boiled with suppressed agony

2. For you quickly departed the covenant after
My life in spurring your love grew old

3. It's no wonder, you are the sons of time like it
Your covenants are treachery and your love infidelity

4. It's as if you are the world that raises our hopes
With its superficiality, and in it death for us is destiny

5. You grew bored so you became bored of the caller to meet
And you betrayed so you drew near to the one who devised betrayal

6. And forgetfulness of keeping covenants made you forget
As intoxication makes one forget the wine bearer

7. And my vigilance inclines me toward you
When old age inclines you away from keeping to me

8. And I deny what my eyes see of you
That you fulfil my abandonment with what imagination assumed

9. I am gentle about what I dislike in you and avoid what
I hope of your fairness, a way and honor

10. You blamed me with abandonment and the dwellings are near
And no dwelling prevents its proximity like abandonment

11. And I overlook your aggression, my eyelids against grit
Until that youthful time passes

12. So when we parted, losses came upon me
With which covenants are broken in traveling the journey

13. It saddens me that you are life's enemies of us
And the disdainful eyes have settled in us, not gentleness

14. And a people I thought well of have been boldly hostile
It would shame them, had not my absence from them been public

15. And you were silent, though frequently
My mention graciously turned in hearing
