What can I do about the fickle one who wrongs me?
My woes at parting torment me, when he is harsh,
And if he wrongs me, I have no protector against him.
No neighbor of mine, if estranged from me.

His affection shifts like the clouds,
His love is like a rain-cloud, soon to disappear,
And his pledge is deceptive as a mirage.
His troth like a mirage deceiving from afar.

Just when I felt safest from him, he took me unawares

With his treachery—and [unclear word in the Arabic].
By his deceit - and I the guileless one.

My flowing tears are my support against him
And a sigh whose heat surpasses fire.
And sighs like fire scorch without flame.
