1. O you who are departing from me while my love for you grows stronger
As their mounts stride on, with my heart urging them along

2. You took away my heart, my joy, my comfort
And my patience, my wishes, my rest and my sleep

3. My life was blissful until I lost it the day you left
Were you intending to return?

4. You robbed the heart of its beloved,
And you were the ones I looked for in the darkness

5. So return to my heart what is missing of joy and companionship
Or return my sleep to me
