1. I blamed a loved one when he turned away
From visiting me, hastening on his mount,

2. Not pausing there at all. But his Lord knew
The truth— though if he lied, it was a foul sin—

3. That it was no intent of his to shun me
When he rode off directly. I said to him

Now memories awake longing in my eyes

5. And heart, longing old and new.
With copious tears flowing down my cheeks,
