1. O parting one, if only you had whitened over the expanse
For I was not pleased that you remained dark in your state

2. Ugly is likening the cheek of an old man
To the cheek of a youth - and Allah knows that

3. So away with this body, O spirit of conduct
And away with this spirit, O body walking

4. You two were joined, so the joining brought about in you
Wondrous things that were destructive to men
