1. Now that they have gone and my soul did not go
How beautiful was your sorrow!

2. O dwelling, you have been peopled after them
And inhabited after them in their stead

3. Why did you not remain desolate as you did remain
When a form other than theirs fulfilled and was true and did not cheat?

4. By God, you have not gained the like of them
Far be it from an evil face to have beauty!
