اجتنابي مرارة التوديعِ
What kept me from the sweetness of seeing off
My longing kept me from attachment's sweetness
was my avoidance of the bitterness of farewell.
My aloofness spared me parting's bitterness

The comfort of the one did not offset the loneliness of the other,
No one suffered such loneliness as this
so I saw that the right course was to forgo it all.
So I saw fit to leave them all in peace
