1. I have recited a verse to you, facing you,
Rarely necessitating my defeat.

2. So do not mock the speaker of it
I fear it would sadden my friend.

3. My throat feels tight, so I asked for a piece,
And do not assist in strangling me.

4. What a loving brother playing with fire
To burn me.

5. If I jest with him foolishly,
Seriousness is of my manners and morals.

6. You have water, so relieve my thirst,
Or else beware of my outburst.

7. My difficulties made me sick, and you had forsaken me,
When I was treated, to my isolation.
