1. Tell the one whose estrangement
Has wearied my eyelids with disdain

2. And whose deception made my eyes
Dream of finding solace in sleep

3. O fickle one, how seldom you keep
Promises though you made them again

4. O unjust one, whenever I implore
You turn away, lost and distraught

5. In your wandering, while things that grow
Will eventually come to an end

6. The rule of beauty must wane
Though its reign may long remain

7. If only the deaf could hear my plaint
And pity my tortured heart

8. But those who cannot hear
Will not listen when called

9. If he called my withered bones
They would answer his summons

10. I have entrusted my soul to one
Who is intimate with estrangement

11. And made my only confidant
The source of my torment
