1. My friends do not deny my determination
Neither my courage nor my patience.

2. My endurance has been betrayed and after intention
My teardrops joined my beloved's count.

3. And whenever the fires of remembrance were kindled
I sighed, then said "enough of my self-pity!"

4. Had my chest sparked after them
I wouldn't have said "poor me!" to my ashes.

5. My loved ones, I feel a yearning for them
If you heard it, it would chill your liver.

6. Alas for my life, it knew no comfort
In your company when time was at my command.

7. The days of my visits, from the water of your faces
Were sweet, though after the visits my heart panged.

8. Destiny separated us, so I have craved
A sip of brandy for my pain and fever.

9. And oh virtuous brother, I entrust you
Not to blame me, for all disloyalty stems from my misfortune.

10. Shed with me a tear of resignation, in solace
For one who weeps in resignation.
