وهل ينجيك بُعدُكَ أو سلوّي

وهل يغنيكَ راقٍ أو طبيب ؟!
And can your distance or my forgetting save you?
Will remoteness grant or soothe thee respite
And can a spiritual healer or a physician help you?!
Or physician heal or rapture give surcease?

You appear to be alive, and yet
Though alive we see thee, yet for sheer longing
Sobbing born of longing has slain you.
Grief at thy absence makes thee cease to live.
