1. I surely said to my daughter as she was
Scorching with the embers of sorrows a gloomy heart,

2. And she shed from her cheeks tears
Of the religion of the grief of parting's sunset,

3. Tears that almost wounded or left in it scars
With what they inflicted or traces therein.

4. She feared that fate would strike down her father
And he would meet, among strangers, misfortune.

5. Be silent! You have wounded my heart with tears
As long as your tears wound hearts.

6. Perhaps God will defend me
From the suspicion you fear until I return.

7. There is nothing He of lofty attributes desires
For someone dear to Him, so call upon the Respondent,

8. And stop severing my heart right now
Or showing me torture on my journey.

9. I am in the Grasp of God whether I am
Far from you or near you.

10. How often have we seen a man come from afar
And a resident in his deathbed get struck!

11. Let me be from your sobbing for I
Do not care if I am determined to weep.

12. God suffices me, then I prepared for the journey
A prayer by which I obtain a mount.
