1. I asked the abandoned camps and ruins, and the traces,
Has after its inhabitants my longing heart asked, how they are?

2. How is the night getting along, and their beauty still remains
In my eyes, even if the affection has been exemplarily severed,

3. They have burdened my heart with sorrows after them,
And burdened it with yearning from afar, with illnesses,

4. I used to fear a separation I was afflicted with,
And before the parting I was fearful and anxious,

5. No food tasted good after the beloved, nor
Were drinks sweet after those who revived my flames,

6. I entrust to God whoever their rising star
Was happiness and ascendance without cessation,

7. From us to you greetings that will not cease, so what
You left after you except embers that kill?
