1. Send my message, carrier, to Abul Jarud
Whether you walk by daybreak or in the dusk

2. Then tell me how he is and why his face
changed

3. After he seemed pleased and his manners refined
If he found good, it gladdens me he got it

4. He was so altered, I said “a different man!”
His eyes were his eyes, and his voice was his voice

5. He resembled himself, yet no more was he kind
If you’ve decided to break with me, make it final

6. For its first omens already begin to show
Whenever a friend grew cold and turned from me
