1. O absent one, my heart's thoughts yearn for you
Patience after you is beyond my power

2. You left my heart and longings torn asunder
My tears and eyelids you set flowing

3. If you could see how our state is destroyed
Then you would pity what you have wrought

4. Without you, my eyes find no delight
And life after you remains darkened and disturbed

5. I hide my longing and veil my deep regrets
Though sighs betray and lay them bare
