1. Your separation is more bitter than a severe, angry blade
And your distance brings more grief to my heart and soul

2. Had I not felt a premonition of parting between us
I would not have known that wishes hollow out the heart of desire

3. Nor was my soul patient in your absence
To split it between distance and nearness

4. Indeed my eyes were deprived of sleep because of your absence
Just as my soul found no consolation except in loving you
