Look at the ways and habits of that cruel love: my own failure, and the success of all my rivals.
See how my sweetheart greets me only with spite, while she keeps picking fights with her own lover.
Explanation: The poem turns on the bitter irony that the beloved rewards rivals and punishes the faithful lover.

رسم و ره آن یار ستمکار نگر
ناکامی یار و کام اغیار نگر
با ما در کینه میزند دلبر بین
با یار ستیزه می کند یار نگر
