1. She turned away, so meeting her became but a dream,
And my eyes replaced tears with blood.

2. Her love took control of my liver,
Exchanging my health for sickness.

3. I became a lone man crying for our separation,
Growing old in regret after her.

4. The slander of gossipers was hard on her.
She became distinguished in the matter of that youth.

5. If not for my misery and afflictions from her estrangement,
I would not have divulged what I concealed.

6. How many needs in letters I lamented,
Weeping, from which parchment and pen became wet.
