1. The day we parted kindled in me a blaze,
Yet it soothed my heart and calmed my restless nights.

2. I kissed the one I love despite their protests,
Openly, not in secret or by stealth.

3. I showed them I was bidding them farewell,
And drank the coffee of their cheek in gulps.

4. If not for the farewells, O beautiful one,
I'd not have kissed your face fifty times over.
