1. Tell us about the caravan which set out
Did it cross the mountain pass or head for Al-Bana?

2. If we ever come to your lands, O friends of ours,
Though absent, in heart you remain our neighbors.

3. When nostalgia calls us to reminisce after you,
Our hearts rise, longing restrains them.

4. We have dear friends who left in God's protection
As devoted to their beloveds as we are devoted.

5. If we complain to them of our suffering,
They complain of being far from us like we complain.

6. O passing breeze, from their lands,
Drag along sweet scents and traces of them.

7. Convey greetings to those I don't mention by name,
Though at times I pined for them in India.

8. Ask him where are the pacts we made,
As though what was never was.

9. Tell him: "You are my soul, O my tormentor,
I cannot do without you however long I live."

10. My tears have become a sea in my eyelids
And my eyes twin ships floating on its surface.

11. What my soul craved and lusted for, O Muna,
No human eye has seen since you vanished from sight.

12. Your company once did not satisfy me,
But now, just remembering you contents my heart.

13. O you who hear the slanderer's lies,
I implore you - do not listen to false accusations.
