1. The day we parted, I released my tears
And turned a deaf ear to your sorrowful moans

2. The day we embraced to bid farewell
We almost collapsed from intense grief

3. Voices rose in mourning
As if our separation was inevitable

4. Oh, my heart and time itself
Which severed the rope of our union

5. I will remember, as long as I live,
Our intimate talks and branches they put forth

6. And the subtle graces their traces heal
Those stricken with heartache and woe

7. I swear by God, our Creator
That your love has expanded my world

8. When I see your face, it increases
The light of suns within my eyelids

9. And I recite poetry about you spontaneously
Lessening the sorrows of my soul

10. Since our souls were created
Yours has yearned for mine

11. Oh, for the sorrows and their arrows
Most intensely lodged in my core

12. Alas, for the time I enjoyed with you
When virtue was our shield

13. You clung to me like a branch
Yielding its branches to my will

14. And I toyed cautiously with your breasts
Finding them to be fonts of tenderness

15. And stole kisses from your lips
Discovering them a spring of joy

16. Not seeking to breach your chastity
But to calm my disquieted thoughts

17. Thoughts churned by the pain of distance
And a love that ignited embers in my mind

18. I am like one who forever seeks
No benefit after spiritual bliss

19. And if the self attains its resurrection
Vastness will humble it

20. I gaze upon you as you look at me
Increasing the familiarity of our affection

21. A look that reveals loyalty and hands
That draw me towards revering you

22. The blind blamed love, not knowing
It refines one's nature

23. And truly softens its captor
Elevating him to perfection

24. If I enjoyed her nearness for a time
Now her distance confines me

25. O He who decreed this suffering we bear
Why not reunite us?

26. I swear if I gained her one day
I would kiss her lips sevenfold

27. If life remains for us
Return to your Lord
