By love's sacred right, my envy has worn me out with longing for him.
A little gazelle has made me drink bitterness of many kinds.

And my heart would nearly have perished in anguish for him,
had I not consoled my heart with the thought that he was faithless.

O heart, whoever betrays a friend for this world and does not
honor his due—may he never have been, whoever he may be.
