1. I concealed the sorrows of yearning, so my eyes
Declared it and my heart articulated it with my tears

2. Everyone hears our longing in farewell
But the most truthful is the one not heard

3. And I asked my eyes to restrain their tears
On the day of farewell, I urged them not to weep

4. I closed them so they would not overflow, yet they rained
I knew I did not possess my tears

5. And I saw a dream that I bid them farewell
So I wept from the pain of longing while they were with me

6. It was bitter for me to bid farewell to a visitor
What about those I carried in my ribs?!
