1. My separation from you has exhausted my patience
And my body is weakened by my longing for you

2. Peace and greetings be upon you
And how are you after we parted?

3. Are you, our loved ones, in comfort?
Then I reject some of the passion where you are

4. And I have a heart with which
The hands of sickness and ardour for you have toyed

5. Passion sees after distance from you
As permitted for it and it sees that joy is

6. Forbidden to it from the hell of longing that is like fire
Which when distant from you, Hell has ignited

7. And an eyelid as if the tears in the basin of his cheek
Were torrents pouring over it, swollen

8. Oh! My Lord is gentle and merciful to you
And God's grace is enough for us and for you
