1. In comfort I took the face of the one bidding me farewell
And kissed his cheek though tears flowed there

2. And I shook him till drops fell as though I saw
A rose whose dripping petals shed their tears

3. The dripping fell upon the sad one I had moistened
Sweetening the mood though it was with pain

4. If it were not for the farewell and these associations
I would have at the parting no life

5. But when the riders journey with him tomorrow
Who do I have when filled with sorrows am I
