1. O Abu Makhlad we were allies of affection
Loving and our hearts together as one

2. I surround you with the love that you surround me
And I ache with concern that you may ache too

3. So after your betrayal you made me accused
By myself I frighten all people combined

4. You immersed love until its roots collapsed
Between us and you cheapened union until it was severed

5. And you brought down from the souls and the minds
A hoard of love that had long been denied

6. So do not blame me, I have no hope in you
You are torn beyond mending or patching anew

7. So by my troth that has been rendered futile
I have steeled my heart, though in fragments it flew
