1. May God have mercy on those who failed to honor the rights of my companionship,
And may safety be upon those who did not bid me farewell.

2. Those who disparaged my companionship are under the protection of the Merciful,
And I have never violated their pledge.

3. I endure his excessive estrangement with patience,
His denied affections and distant aspirations.

4. My eyes seek a glimpse of him in my imagination,
And my ears long to hear his voice again.

5. On the day we said farewell, his face shone like the full moon.
I complained of my sorrow, yet he smiled in response,

6. With tears that mimicked his words in their scattering,
And reproach that mimicked his lips in their composure.

7. So my lamentations disturbed nothing but his cheeks,
And my whispers stirred nothing but his poise.
