1. Alas! O crow of separation, why do you cry?
Your voice is ugly and hateful to me.

2. Each morning you swoop down relentlessly,
Coming to me while you are complaining.

3. You tell me that I will never again find joy,
You have gone far from me, with no sound advice.

4. But if you do not rouse me on any day,
then the bleating of camels at dawn will suffice.
