1. O reproach, your abandonment inherits illnesses,
And abandonment is not a fair punishment for our love.

2. My friend, I have truly suffered from passion’s agony,
And every humiliation and misery from its woe.

3. My heart clung to loving her despite my wretchedness,
For love invites all tribulation and trial.

4. I hope for her yet fear her, caught between dread and wish,
Suspended between apprehension and aspiration.

5. She was miserly to me with her affection and sincerity,
While I gave her my love and utmost sincerity.

6. So desires differed between us,
And death lies in differing desires.
