I said, "Awaiting your beautiful arrival."

2. She said, "You've consoled yourself after our separation."
I said, "About my dwelling and my home."

3. She said, "You've been distracted from our love."
I said, "With excessive weeping and sorrow."

4. She said, "You've forgotten." I said, "My health."
She said, "You've distanced yourself." I said, "From my homeland."

5. She said, "You've abandoned." I said, "My skin."
She said, "You've changed." I said, "In my body."

6. She said, "You've isolated yourself from our company."
I said, "With loss in you and loss in me."

7. She said, "You've divulged secrets." I said to her,
"Your love made my secret public."

8. She said, "You've made the enemies happy." I said to her,
"That is something which, had you wished, would not have been."

9. She said, "Then what do you intend?" I said to her,
"An hour of joy with you brings me happiness."

10. She said, "The watcher's eye looks upon us."
I said, "I have not built for the eye."

11. You've separated me with your aloofness, so if
death had stalked me, it wouldn't have seen me.
