1. She bid me farewell with the farewell of the stern separator
Yes, a farewell of estrangement, not of affection

2. And the affection she bid me adieu resumed
After the covenants like a slave from a family

3. So I said, when she came to me, that she had chosen
And obeyed the word of my enemies and slanderers

4. Whether you cut off the rope or please the envious about us
Or you touch, I have been satisfied with substitutes from us

5. For I see that she does not want a substitute from us
Nor does she, in past situations, obey about us

6. Does time keep for her the affection which she was accustomed to from me
Two matters that did not cease to be in my mind

7. Yearning for her when her aspects suited
A day, and I saw from her a trace of ruins

8. And keeping what she entrusted with me, and she claimed
That the likes of me can not keep a secret well

9. If what you came with consoles my heart
I have not returned to my family or wealth

10. With effort to inform her of the affection which she was accustomed
From me, and I emphasized words with words
