1. I wish their guide on the day they departed
Had eased the journey in the captives' hearts,

2. Or had tended the company of bodies which became
For sights and hearings a companion.

3. And a beloved I entrusted with my eyes' light
But he turned away and left my heart afire,

4. Departing, feigning composure in choosing to depart,
When he was driven to it against his will.

5. And despite my will and his, we will see a house
For our pleasures turned into one that brings us misery.

6. And it's hard for me that the days should pass in it
For others taking turns.

7. And to my regret, I'm jealous that the places
After their people should welcome strangers.

8. Familiarity increased its desolation except for
Lovers - so I withdrew from it in hate.

9. Blame me for my misery. Be gentle with
A heart that's patient or accept my excuses.

10. I would have been consoled had I found solace
And been patient had I been able to show endurance

11. I tried to conceal my love but
The veil was lifted between us and bars cast aside.
