1. A friend of mine turned hostile after affection
The mother of betrayal is fertile in this world

2. Boredom made him see my beauty as ugly
So he turned away, though turning away is hard for friends

3. He blamed today what he had praised in me yesterday
His experiences attest, though yesterday he bore witness

4. I do not blame him for what came over him
A good deed turned bitter for him

5. The sick may find water bitter
In his mouth, though it is very cold
