1. It is separation, so live if you wish, or die
Life is not pleasing when my loved ones are gone

2. Alas for death when their camel litters departed
I wish it had claimed my soul, that would have been best

3. The world was sweet to me in their nearness
Now they have made the world bitter for me

4. I hoped they would return though parting promised otherwise
But parting fulfilled its promise and hopes were unmet
