1. This is indeed the act of separation, so take heed
And complain to God about the vicissitudes of time

2. O separation! You have increased intimacy with deprivation
And entrusted it with yearning and sorrow

3. O you who pass by the beloved in melancholy
And ceaselessly remain a blight upon the body

4. O heart! What have I experienced from you! Woe is me
If only you did not exist before the separation
