1. You forgot what you stored in your hearing, O my hearing!
As if after adversity you are devoid of benefit.

2. As for before your two eyes which are anxiety, anxiety,
For a grieved one who hopes from you something other than prevention!

3. If you are inclined to estrangement, knowing,
Then patience is not in the makeup of my heart nor my nature.

4. And if above your cheek laughter is a meadow,
Then upon my cheek is a brightness from tears.

5. Ask the rain of the year which covered your lands,
Did it bring the amount which overflowed from my tears?
