1. I suffer from your rejection as I suffer
And I remember our past while you forget

2. I complain of my solitude and estrangement
Though amidst kith and kin and friends

3. My tears convey my plaint from me to you
To which even rocks respond while you remain unmoved

4. I sacrifice myself! My sorrows are my banner
And the raiments of grief forever my dress

5. Is there no physician to cure this affliction
No tender hand to dress the wounds of my heart?

6. My blood flows though I am guilty of no crime
My eyes under his magic lose all sleep

7. The apples of my eyes unsheathe swords
And even if sleep comes, it is brief

8. A rose-tinted cheek on which lies a bloom
And a temple torn by the fingers of a secret lover
