1. The lovers do not blame separation or its pain
But they grow weary when boredom sets in

2. They become depressed though already they bid farewell or handed over their goodbyes
While I became depressed without having bidden farewell or handed over my goodbyes

3. So let the weeping ones weep for me for I
Was exiled from my homeland though no criminal was I

4. And I was placed on the day I was placed in a land wherein
The eloquent would glorify the inarticulate

5. I find no rest but in a long dark night
In which I lament its prolonging and each succeeding day
