1. My father, how could you break your promise
And neglect to fulfill your covenant with me

2. You will not find anyone like what I found in you, and how I
Praised you! If you do not find the like of what I found

3. Many a day I obeyed the misleading in your beautiful
Face, and my right guidance was in your beauty

4. The magic of your eyes is my coffee and your dimples
My temperament, and the rose of your cheeks my bouquet

5. If only I had become permitted to you in love,
So love permitted you to me

6. May the days not let me see you lost, as long as I live
Nor make me know your loss, as long as I live

7. The greatest misfortune is for you to precede me in death
And of misfortune for you to be delayed after me

8. I envy that you become intimate with someone other than me
When I singled myself out in loving you alone
