1. Greetings to the brethren who visited my village
In delegations with the most faithful promise and oath

2. Quenching for hours that are my whole life
And the best of my dreams and finest of my debts

3. Do all my family and neighbors gather
And all my loved ones, yet they cannot find me

4. Did they mention me in their harmonious gathering
And ask about my sickness and sorrows?

5. I fulfill every friend his share
If he who loves and yearns asks about me

6. And my cure is to see them as Muslims
Peace of meeting and farewell for now

7. If I were the prisoner, time would excuse me to them
And if their matter was trivial in their remoteness

8. But they were right before my eyes
The caller did not miss his neighbor at dawn

9. Nor did the invited ask where is my companion?
Does he rejoice being honored in gatherings

10. Devoid of my messages and fine arts?
If I lost my worth to my neighbor and friend

11. Am I in India that he sees me in China?
