1. When you left, his sorrows renewed
And his grief multiplied in your absence

2. None knows the easygoing joy and serenity
Except he whose fires have dimmed

3. His heart drew nightingales
Drawing on his cheek their dwelling

4. If you ask about his state or affairs
His conditions will tell you his case

5. His beloved left him and so did his consolation
His homelands denied knowing him in his eyes

6. The intent cannot settle in the inflamed self
His supporters failed him in his purpose

7. The days of your abandonment bequeathed him agony
With tears flowing relentlessly

8. Alas for the inflamed soul and senses
Grieving over the past days

9. The days of his youth left him
And no streams quenched his afflictions

10. Nothing remained of his freshness
Except a frail body clad in shrouds

11. So have mercy on the weakened by your love
For your affection makes his branches flourish

12. He was once among your servants
But his abandonment outcast him from your gates

13. Were it not for the ridges of hope’s flowers splitting
Its branches would wither in your absence

14. But the garden of his hope in your pardon
Has thriving thickets in its sincerity

15. And his sanctuary’s birds gathered
Flapping joyously for you in its branches

16. Your grace suffices to keep him safe
His loyalty ever pointing to your benevolence
