1. The announcer of death has decreed concerning me
A decree due to my love for you - I had no control over it, nor did I intend it

2. So after your closeness, no other closeness has sweetness
And I see no remoteness except your remoteness - that is truly distant

3. I love those who come from her land towards me
Of all travelers, those most recently departed are closest

4. So whenever we meet after despair and estrangement
And hearts are torn asunder, I find solace for it

5. In a liver that has almost laid bare the secrets within
And some people think me insensitive
