1. I grieved for the twilights that adorned it
My daytime shirt has ascension

2. Perhaps its blackness is unclean upon it
And the purity of white has purity

3. And this world that was loved and pained
Thus is love known as misery

4. We asked it to stay despite its harm
But it said, "Remaining upon you is forbidden"

5. Separation has occurred so when is the proximity
And between is vast so when is the meeting

6. And your armor if it protects you from a people's arrows
Then it is not protection on any day

7. And I am not like one who speaks without knowledge
Equal from you is death and caution

8. For the noon prayer has become obligatory upon you
When the water carrier comes to you with water

9. It has wasted your resolves and lonelinesses
And the individuals of stars are most gentle friends

10. So my companionship to reach death together
While we are most truthful friends

11. I see a sip of life is a bitter thing
So witness the truth of that when you take heed
