1. Did you not know what separation did
The evening it left in earnest from the tribe

2. Indeed he died of anguish and left behind
His broken heart carried away in suffering

3. And he had nothing but this upon him
Thus does parting kill with fear

4. And I do not know, though they hastened the steeds
Whether lightning or al-Burāq would bring evil

5. So many tears it held back from passionate eyes
And so many tears of sorrow unbearable fell
