1. The grave embraced you, watered by my tears,
If only it had embraced us both together!

2. I lived even if I were to die the day you turned away,
So I could be more patient in my affliction.

3. My lifetime was bound to continue,
So I was not laid low before my time.

4. I wondered, in this blow, at those
Who were wounded in their souls, laid waste.

5. The great blows of fate are trivial
Except the vows of love and submission.

6. I have enough of fate to content me,
And I do not see it turning me aside.

7. Servant of the Wealthy One, offer my ransom
With my soul, if I were able.

8. This day taught me how to weep
When once I did not shed tears.

9. I excused those I blamed for weeping
Since you made me weep tears and cry aloud.

10. People consoled me, then said:
The lion of valor - what made him so stricken with grief?

11. My meadows have become desolate, and I used to feel
At home in them - how lonesome the meadows have become!

12. Fate has disrupted them since it adorned itself,
And they began lamenting the springtide.

13. Perhaps the Clement Merciful will pardon me
When you have spoken for me.

14. My salutations to you - how often does this
Absent one remember to return?

15. Come back, and ask God to take my soul
And bring about our reunion swiftly!
