1. I hoped for something not meant for me,
So it failed me and since then my eyes weep.

2. He who I do not love has avoided me,
So my soul against him is torn asunder.

3. I hoped it would give generously,
But found it was not inclined to give.

4. So bear with me the agony of separation, after
I hoped to gain good things from Uthaymah.

5. It has left me, though it was so sweet to my disgrace,
Newly, while my soul still longs for it.
