1. Since you've been gone, sleep has deserted me,
Patience lags behind, while sorrow walks ahead.

2. You've burdened me with estrangement without crime—
Except my true affection and passion for you.

3. What fiery agony for you I withstand!
Yearning is my yearning and wounds are my wounds.

4. Whoever reproaches me for loving you should know
I have tasted in you the bitterness of blame.

5. Stay knowing that for your love I am possessed,
And to meet you again are all my hopes and dreams.
