1. The longing lit a flame in my heart
So its fire has kindled within

2. The hands of those parted from me toyed with me
When they showed the lover your distance

3. With no distance of body or soul or heart
How can this be when you have taken my heart?

4. No separation lies between our hearts
That is only for the body by decree of will

5. So my heart has the best of witnesses in absence
It sees you in the gathering as if present

6. The heart rejoiced when it met
A letter from Mustafa son of Sa’dah

7. Greetings and peace be upon him
That produce goodness and increase for him
