1. Tell the loved ones to be patient a little,
Not to hurry lest they become a slain victim.

2. Do you think they knew my soul would
Accompany them if they depart intending to depart?

3. Do not give them hope or lead them astray
Since they have disappointed my wishful thinking.

4. How many reproachers among them I disobeyed,
And they obeyed the separation though blamers.

5. The way of one who spent his night bedecked
Becomes difficult with separation.

6. To illness I owe a favor I appreciate
When I was hidden from the tale-carriers.

7. Does hiding what I experienced benefit me
When my tears became evidence?

8. Or did your neglect of seeing me suffice
That my patience over it became stingy?

9. As if my heart wanted to reveal a solace
To despair, so took tears as messenger.
