1. A chanter calling out with separation
Has kept me awake, the weeping of the weepers

2. And the moaning of two birds stirred me
And the crying of the fowl made me yearn

3. I wept, so they made me happy when they moaned
I have never seen the like of you two gladdening

4. It is as if they wanted to provoke
My passion, so they made my heart and eye weep

5. You have blamed me unjustly out of ignorance
Some blame is disgraceful, not beautiful

6. If you knew what I suffer
You would have pity on me like parents

7. I am deprived of her gifts though innocent
Except for lies I was accused of and disgraced

8. When enemies' words are heard
That corruption comes between lovers

9. You made promises to me except
You failed them for me and paid off my debt
