1. You left and tears were flowing
My heart in sorrow for your love

2. My body gaunt from your rejection
Why not return or come again?

3. If you've decided to depart
Tell me openly what ails you

4. Perhaps you'll pity one lovesick
And favor me with an answer

5. How long do I hope for union
Soon or till Judgment Day?

6. Let me tell you I'm confounded
Heart grieved, O dear friends of mine

7. If we shall meet again soon
If not, I've had enough reproach

8. Don't you know that I, for love of you
Suffer agony, and so does my beast

9. But they did not pause or soften
Nor heed the rightness of my words

10. They hurried on their way, leaving me
Tossing my face into the dust

11. And the tears of longing for them
Flowed as floods flow from the clouds

12. I spent the night sighing in yearning
My heart inflamed with their intention

13. For them, from them, by them
None but them I seek

14. Of every land I ask after them
Until youth left my body
