1. He made my heart taste sorrow by his abandonment
He who had brought me joy with his affection

2. Long have I enjoyed his favor
Despite the reproach of those who fault his love

3. A branch of willow above which shines the moon
Laughing in the night air in its drowsiness

4. The wind before dawn intoxicated it
And the moon in beauty without its rising

5. As if its breath and scent
Were a gentle flower breeze it blew with its blossom

6. When he saw me captive to melancholy
In his hand he changed from his affection

7. Though the beloved forbade me from him as
I clung to the rope of his estrangement
