1. O you whose love has made me miserable
And melted my body with torment

2. With what I keep repeating in the letter
Answer me back for my heart

3. Is inclined towards the answer
And take in your palm a handful

4. Of dust that you have stepped on
Throw it on me for in it is

5. Some of what would cool my inflammation
And be mixed in my food as long as I live

6. And in my drink
My beloved has gone so oh my misfortune

7. How prolonged has been my estrangement
My chest is flaming with sorrow

8. And my eyes are raining clouds
I complain to you of yearning

9. Between the ribs and the veil
By Allah I have not forgotten you since

10. The carriages left with the carriages
Death hovered around me

11. The day you left with the disappearance
Either you left and every dear one

12. Could end up leaving
So upon you, o habitation of peace

13. And what was with you was like what was with me
