Listen to the reed (flute), how it is complaining! It is telling
about separations,
(Saying), "Ever since I was severed from the reed field, men
and women have lamented in (the presence of) my shrill cries.
(But) I want a heart (which is) torn, torn from separation, so that
I may explain the pain of yearning."
