1. Your affection, O Waraqa, until when will you scrimp?
Slow down, for anguish is in my ribs

2. Your affection has kept awake the eyelids of my youth
And stirred in me memories of companionship

3. Your affection, the turmoil has appeared and cheeks reddened
Najashi wept and clouds of my tears poured down

4. So I cannot forget, I cannot forget the farewell and a stand
I stood weeping, and my companion wept

5. The caravan mounts turned away in it, and I felt estranged
While my heart, filled with sorrow, despaired
