1. Oh sorrow, you have returned to bid me farewell
As though parting from Lubna was but a deceit

2. The slanderers besieged me, disquieting me
Oh Lord, cursed be the obeyed talebearer

3. I awoke in the morning, blaming myself
For something beyond my power

4. Like a duped man biting his hands
Realizing his loss after the sale
