1. Be gentle and leave blame
And turn from the passionate lover

2. If only you knew, my beloved,
That in Asyut I left behind sweet sleep

3. I long to see you again
While the wicked scheme against your purpose

4. When night falls and my friends sleep
The fire of remembering you burns my bones

5. Greetings O distant one, greetings
But do my greetings avail instead of meeting?
