Multiple poems at a time |
In the morning [a rainbow] rises in the west,
And [only] during the morning is there rain.
When a girl goes away [from her home],
She separates from her brothers and parents.
This person
Has her heart only on being married.
Greatly is she untrue to herself,
And does not recognize [the law of] her lot.
