1. By my father, brothers with whom I journeyed
And so I journeyed from joy and companionship

2. They left me so they saddened me and ignited
The flames of passion in the thoughts of my soul

3. They say, “If only you had stayed with us and kept us company”
Alas! Where are those people to me or of my kind?

4. How can my company be a kinship when separation
Lies between them and me like the separation of jinn from mankind

5. And the status of companionship in which their companionship lies
While my seriousness makes me lonely and lacking their companionship
