How could my misgivings not grow stronger,
How can my anguish not intensify
How could my obsessive whispers not intensify,
since your poems are what I study?
When your poetry is my study
When your verses are my subject of study?

Your like was never acquired by the age of
No era has gained the likes of you
Wretched Fortune did not acquire the likes of you,
misfortune, except at the time of my bankruptcy.
Except at my ruin and bankruptcy
Except at the time of my bankruptcy.
