1. As if I were on the day the neighbor parted from an abode
And the heart was alarmed by the severities of separation

2. Ruka'a remained lamenting the loss of a friend
Weeping for him longingly while he was imprisoned

3. O neighbor of the abode, is there any return so mayhap
He will awaken from the slumbers of ardent longing drunk

4. If I depart from this life in your vicinity
Then every sin the days have brought is forgiven
