1. When I told you, "Don't be coy,"
you became more so just to spite me.

2. I wish when you went against me
you had not sought to weaken me.

3. Giving up kohl was being coy—
why did you give it up, neither for me nor for coyness?

4. I told you not to make yourself more beautiful.
I'm content with your beauty without such embellishment.

5. If my soul left me, it would be disgraced, but not
disgraced by your leaving that beautifully adorned veil.

6. You did not heed my words or respect my reputation.
You did not keep your promise to me or pause.

7. Whether out of flirtation or spite,
do not combine both and go too far.

8. Either be as coquettish as your actions,
or make your coquetry match your restraint.

9. You helped me in the past but deceived me—
you never helped me except to later disappoint me.

10. If I had no need of you, I would not be disgraced by you,
even if you don't know that, so know it now.
