1. The embers of farewell, and God is all I need,
Have seared my liver and consumed my heart.

2. I cried to my God and Lord complaining,
“The day we parted burned my heart away.”

3. And separation's fire has roasted me.
My loved ones, you remain exalted still

4. With every sigh since that sad dawn we parted.
How true is longing after closeness ends!

5. If God should will we reunite someday,
I'll never speak of parting while I live.
