1. Our loved ones, I had no patience being away from you
And what excuse can the patient have from his loved ones?

2. I wish I knew how you all were
And how was she whose face the full moon rises from

3. And whose perfume is musk and whose glances are magic
And whose smile is pearls and whose complexion is wine

4. She claimed she would stay as we knew her
Though my absence grew long and her life grew longer

5. And yet I fear, as time is ever changing
That one day betrayal may make her heart turn

6. How can a longing soul contain in his body
His insistence to stay and his will to leave

7. He stood to fight the black hordes in a foreign land
Whose affairs were killing and capture

8. Beneath him horror and around him ruin
Above him a sword and beneath him the sea

9. When he saw a flash of lightning in the direction of his land
He was troubled by the grief he had contained with patience

10. And shed blood after the tears had soaked his mantle
When he was alone his heavy eyelids wept

11. And if he tried to rise above the battlefield
The chains and the bridge held back his endeavor

12. It is sorrow enough that the sheltered is exiled
And the noble among loved ones is the one abandoned

13. If my wealth cannot support my ambition
With generosity even if ease later follows hardship

14. Why then my striving to seek riches?
For the generous, wealth itself is of no worth

15. He who is miserly wins by gathering money
While for me there is only thanks and gratitude

16. I am but a guardian of glory and sublimity
That is my treasure, not pearls or ruins

17. If God destines my return, then it is binding upon me
That I never separate from you all again

18. I seek no distance nor division from you
Only time itself could divide us

19. Life is nothing but closeness to those you know well
And death but the separation and loss
