1. When I saw you in love, you betrayed me
And lusted after the dull, afflicted fool

2. You became angry after being pleased with me for a while
And forgot my upbringing and my graceful contemplation

3. So I resorted to the door of patience for a full year
Which I spent in agony and excuses

4. And I hoped that your affection would become pure after that
And that those envious of me over you would die

5. You cut me off with undeserved hatred
That did not originate from me, and did not return to my first love

6. And you sold me for the heaviest of prices
The sale of slaves, and did not pity my humiliation

7. And you swore you would not betray, but did not fulfil
Except for your ignorant, vile criminal

8. And I had papers with you that were torn up
After I recited them to you in a gathering

9. And you were cruelly arrogant like an aggressor
And attributed madness to a mind that had matured

10. And in front of people you made me out to be foolish
And closed the door to reconciliation, fearing the most vile

11. And my soul had been humbled to you, so you weakened it
After its dignity and pure springs

12. Despite knowing I am a lion in battle
And my bravery above the unarmed rabble

13. But in love I am like a lover made deaf
By an arrow from a welcoming beloved

14. I called out in sorrow - my service was wasted
And I asked for more after drinking a cup of bitter aloe

15. So to you be praise and thanks, for you freed me
O Lord, from this destined judgment

16. For I have indeed seen wondrous and amazing things
That I never thought I would see in my life
