1. The Yemeni lightning attacked you while weakening,
So your sleep is a flooding deluge.

2. It went to the eyes in the highest comfort,
To a side that wished for that country.

3. So it bought a full moon and then drew near
The covenant of those we wished for.

4. Alas! The intention - alas! - with it
The last of days, as long as eternity lasts,

5. The land of India - an intention that sailed with it
The last of days, as long as eternity lasts.

6. The house of life - an intention that returned to us.
Is there a going back to what is past of life?

7. Or does the heart which gets accustomed to
The perils of mentioning it and ardour

8. Forget, despairing, so there is no wish
After what is past for what you were hoping for.
