1. Friends, who remains for me if
Closeness and estrangement persist

2. For I see wishes
Becoming intimate through aloofness

3. The days have scattered a shade
That gathered us, intimate

4. And troubled the life
That was good and pure

5. And stopped me, after you
From wishes, on the verge

6. Until the envious one saw in me
What he yearned for and lusted over

7. And after separation, became a companion
To Mahdi, and that is enough

8. As if I obtained from the precious
Pearl, just the shell
