1. This bride of the year, fate has done away with her
A decree that melted her joy and gloom

2. She left the abode of the Bani Bashara and leaned away
After her, good tidings were diminished and lessened

3. She left behind the bitterness of yearning for her companion
Forever renewing his sadness and grief

4. So her chronicler came to give solace to the bereft one
His companion journeyed on, and he was left alone
