1. He denied union and resorted to separation
And prolonged my torment with it from the beginning

2. And harmed my body with distance when
Existence has been granted and my patience has betrayed me

3. He hurt my strength and look how I hurt him
Unknown to him

4. I swear by the verses of remembrance, and by what
Is in the remembrance from an oath to the Owner of the cave

5. I do not love anyone but him, how can I
Ever replace him and forget him in my life

6. And my love for him lies hidden in my heart
Until I become a trust in the grave

7. How often I turned away from him outwardly, but he has
Great passion from me secretly

8. And I left him verbally, but I will never have
A heart that turns him away

9. Verily love in the heart has
The tears of the lover flowing continuously

10. But the system of reason necessitates that
Outwardly, separation is reciprocated with separation
