1. If there is a connection to our meeting in books
Then every painful separation in their discontinuity

2. And if the days are set against
Me, say who can change their nature

3. So do not cut off from us lines of a letter
That represents your faces to my hearing

4. For my liver from your separation is cracked
And my prolonged estrangement adds to its cracking

5. I have become in the world eager for you
Indeed one like me is ascetic to its possessions
