1. O heart, have patience, though love gives no respite,
You will see Amr's mother at the end of time.

2. We enjoyed comfort for a while, but it became
Like coals in our heart, hot and lingering.

3. Two friends who hope not to meet, nor to be seen,
Two friends who can but hope for a reunion.

4. None has tended me when love made me languish
In settled lands or where the nomads roam.
