1. O you whose love exalted him and humiliated me
How can I reach you, show me the way

2. You left me lost, wandering as youth
I tend to the stars while you sleep soundly

3. You promised not to turn from passion
And swore, O branch, that you would not bend

4. The breeze blew and bent a branch like it
Where is time, and where is what you promised me

5. Time passed, yet you did not join me
O stingy with union, you have killed me

6. You united me until I possessed my longing
Then after the union you deserted me

7. When you took the reins of my secret passion
And knew I was your lover, you betrayed me

8. And I will sit on the road complaining
Disguised as a wronged man, though you wronged me

9. And complain about you to the sultan of love
So he tortures you as you have tortured me

10. And call upon you in the wings of night
So you wither as you have made me wither
