inscription: Ever since knotted locks of your hair were tied around your throat,/
My neck has also been chained by your tresses./
Henceforth my lot is to lament and cry,/
sounding like the [awakening] caravan bell,/
Protesting against these fellow travelers who have tied a heavy load on a nightingale.
