1. When you left after bidding farewell
Indeed I'm not resentful of our parting

2. Yet my soul, o beloved, could not
Free me from your binding

3. Our love consumed me such that
Parting felt like losing a lover

4. And I see separation granting beauty to my eyes
For the agony of longing and joy of your embrace

5. How can I be patient when I'm in a land
Where I see no ray of your sunrise
