1. I remembered you until I almost forgot
The one whose fire of your memory burns in my heart

2. I cried for you when separation acted out passion’s role
As if your aloofness in closeness had no effect on me

3. Did I even have comfort near you?
Your union is the arrow of separation in the East and West

4. Yes, in patience from you I had a reliance
And a refuge, had it not been for my excess in love
