1. This is spring, and you are absent
Though you were more beautiful than spring

2. The birds sing, and you are silent
In a quiet, deserted house

3. If I had known that tears would wash over it
From the agony of my weeping

4. No tear can quench the thirst of a grave
Adorned with shed blood

5. Months have passed, and you are still absent
The birds sing, and you are silent

6. Each day we used to have long talks
I talk about them, and you are silent

7. May God not bless a time
When the great poet is mocked by others

8. We had sorrows, and still have them
But losing you has made them fade away

9.
Now I do not know how to listen

10. To a conversation you are absent from
The fire of grief has flared up in my joy

11. You left, and yet you are still part of me
Life without you is bitter

12. Though it was sweeter than nectar
And time without you is an ocean

13. With one drowning soul after another
Whenever I remember our separation

14. I choke on my agony
And I wander lost in meaning

15. From one path to another
If you ask how I am today

16. In the abode of love and ardour
Know that in my time
