1. We have missed meeting you after you left, not that we missed you
And we haven’t sobered from the intoxication of passion since we fell for you

2. You seduced us with youth after you left
So tell us who made you break away

3. Waves of longing invaded us so our patience collapsed
Oh come aid us swiftly with your cavalry

4. When will we heal after you with your closeness
And the home of affection brings us together, you and us

5. Our loved ones, by God do you remember us
For we have never forgotten remembering you all time

6. It shot us but your determination did not miss our soft spots
Since separation distanced your abode

7. And if it weren’t for pining we wouldn’t have tasted the bitterness of sorrow
And if it weren’t for you we wouldn’t have known fervor, if it weren’t for you

8. You dwelled in the plains of passion within our ribs
When you built then left, so your magnificence was emptied

9. We clutch our livers with our palms
For what afflicts them when the memory of your attributes recurs

10. And our eyes have never seen in life
Anyone’s sight that pleased them after seeing you

11. And we swear if we were able to visit
The cheeks and eyes, we would visit you

12. Trust in our loyalty for we
However things are, God knows we herd you

13. You cut off our connection, forgot remembering us
Neglected keeping us, betrayed excusing us

14. So be just with us for we are your subjects
And you must be asked about shepherding your subjects

15. And it’s wondrous that we yearn for you
While your abode is between the ribs

16. So grace us with letters, for in letters there is comfort
And forbid you sever the letters, forbid you

17. Your letter is like musk, its fragrance to me
As if I see your scent emanating from it

18. I kiss it while tears erase its lines
As if I kissed moisture and your softness

19. Your torment is gentle so do what you wish
With a slave whose condition sways toward you
