1. O light of estrangement, purity of affection,
When the garment of disconnection appeared to me,

2. O dress of sorrows, how long will you
Be soaked in a basin of effort?

3. Kindle for me once, the fire of union
With a basket of affection from you,

4. For since separation lit its furnace,
My heart has been a slaughterhouse of passion.

5. The treachery of the covenant-breaker
Has corrupted my cheek and love and yearning.
