1. You broke your promise and covenant with me after intimacy
And I have woken from the fire of my passions and longings

2. You were the best companion to me, but you turned against
The days exhaust me with my distress and weariness

3. So who will rekindle the fire of yearning when you lit it
And the pain and torment of separation that has no relief

4. I think that my distance from you is unlike
What I knew of your noble character and morals

5. O you who broke the pact of my covenant, I will never
As long as I live remain faithful to the pact of love

6. By God, my heart that longed for you, if only
I could, I would place it inside my books and papers

7. And in a heart torn by the sword of separation
The wars of love in it stand on their feet

8. I will not sense the lightning bolt of your nearness if you incline
To return to the taste of sleep my eyelids

9. And I will not gain union except the companionship of
Yearning, and tears pouring down my cheeks

10. But as you have been absent from me, I do not care if
The days terrify and threaten me with lightning

11. So let fate do what it wishes with its adversities
For I will not find intimacy after the beloved has gone
