The matter has drawn near after being far away,
The matter has come near after its distance
And the beloved has shown favor after turning away.
And intimacy has helped after its estrangement

And after misery and a straitened life,
And after misery and straitened living
You have come to a life of ease and plenty.
You have come to lowering it and its abundance

And can the young man be delighted with a share
Whose existence is the cause of its loss?
Whose existence is a cause for its loss
