1. A grief I had not foreseen in my time
Regret has afflicted me with strange sorrows

2. And the harshest afflictions violently upon a soul
That came suddenly without occasion

3. O you who busy yourself with diversion
My obedience has greatly diminished

4. You blamed me while being ignorant of my state
And my heart was convinced of what has befallen me

5. In the meadows of time stirred the intuition of fate
Passionate for what is precious of my treasures

6. Time sent towards it the hand of a person
Agitating mischief, stirring up grudges

7. He seized it as an opportunity while the inattentive, tranquil one
Was not equal to the watchful and alert one

8. Had he come openly to take it back
He would have retreated deprived of what he coveted

9. Cunning which had long been hidden from him
Enabled him, with the means at hand

10. The moment distracted it from taking precautions
Against him, and the moment is the mind's wisdom

11. If it was hastily taken, the respite of one from whom
Goodness is hoped is not secure according to the law of ruin

12. A being whose body recalls aquamarine
Adorned with a silk robe of coral hue

13. And cheeks that have lost their original complexion
Resembling there a reddish purple

14. Fresh complexioned, the eye sees in it
A meadow that blossomed without a garden

15. It reflects words like an echo in the furthest
Degrees of eloquence and clarity

16. It purified truthfulness when answering a questioner
While devoid of understanding those meanings

17. After you were gone, no leaf gained independence
Weeping for the foliage on the branches
