1. The wilderness has brought us to the edge of al-Ghadaa
Give us back that affection which has passed

2. And do not deprive us of the sight of your beauty
For our souls writhe in the agony of separation

3. Is aloofness becoming in you, while my heart is enamored
With love for you, though vast is the firmament?

4. I wish an apparition in dreams would visit me
Yet how can a specter visit one who does not slumber?

5. My hopes have focused on she whose heart
Remains captive, not ceasing to harbor resentment

6. By your rights, worry has not distracted me
Nor has the lightning of yearning in my heart grown dim

7. And I swear by the pact you know
You are the one whom my heart obeys, in joy and sorrow
