By evening, lovesickness was my neighbor in the corners of my heart,
My heart became a neighbor to the wounds of separation
Through the doing of a gazelle who wronged me by severing the bond.
Due to the acts of a gazelle severing the connection between us

How often he went about measuring out conceit by the cubit, and how often

Over some matter, out of arrogance, he prolonged the restraint
Due to the command of a rock that became insolent
Upon my heart—and so they called him a stonecutter.
Upon the pebbles and thus was called a stone
