1. His condition changed from the love I knew,
And he transgressed in parting and avoiding me.

2. He asked me how a body wearied and distressed,
Can survive without a heart.

3. He obeyed the slanderers about me, yet how strange
That the beloved should heed the words of enemies.

4. He is the lover of my eyes and heart, though now
Estrangement has replaced affection.
