1. O heart, O betrayer of the beloved
You are nothing but one of the hearts

2. The delight of my eye and the joy of my life
My radiance, my basil, and my scent

3. You did not rend your white robes
In the south wind

4. You betrayed, no doubt, the beloved
I swear by the All-Hearing, the Responder

5. It said it was a sin beyond it
I said it was among the greatest sins

6. Or that the heart be chained to grief
And the ear immersed in weeping

7. And the eye sends forth its waters
In a torrent from its springs

8. Then I knew no viler heart
Than yours, grieving for the beloved
