1. The raven of separation flew from my bosom
We blamed him, so we shot arrows at him

2. From the bow of union with arrows of love
We did not stop until we struck him down

3. And for the gallant lover we set up
With the nightingale of sincerity, so we drove him away

4. The gallant one was disturbed and lonely
So the threads of union wove his eyes

5. He was poor and became friendly until when
We called him, he answered our call

6. And I trusted in hunting him, so I sent him
He hunted for me the one I loved
