1. Bring me back with reunion and fulfill me with success,
For I have, when love is sound, a beautiful hope.

2. And do not let the enemies gloat over me,
For though harm is not easy, being lost is no refuge.

3. And breaking the ropes of affection is disgraceful while you
Are too noble for blame to reach you.

4. Do not be miserly with union from me, for you
Are too lofty for stinginess to be added to you.

5. And return even with an apparition, patients of your abandonment,
And do not kill with avoidance those who have no power.

6. For she is not at fault, who is passionate without you,
Nor the one who poured her love for you when asked.

7. To whom shall I complain of my loss and your paucity,
When my patience for you has been depleted, yet yours has merit?

8. Where are the reins of the covenant, O utmost of wishes?
Good faith has been evil, and the rope has been cut.

9. My wait has been prolonged, night after night,
For good news, even if in sleep, followed by messages.

10. Perhaps a reply in a letter they have,
That would console an afflicted one, whose union with you has betrayed him.

11. What can the outcast do, shut from your door?
Or the shackled, deprived of your grace?

12. What can the abandoned do, if destiny
Has forbidden him your company? Woe to him!

13. And who can seek hopes after this,
If you did not console the lost one who has no people?
