1. My woes at parting torment me, when he is harsh,
No neighbor of mine, if estranged from me.

2. His love is like a rain-cloud, soon to disappear,
His troth like a mirage deceiving from afar.

3. I trusted him when I should not have done so,
By his deceit - and I the guileless one.

4. My flowing tears are my support against him
And sighs like fire scorch without flame.
