May my father be ransom for the one I loved; then we parted.
By the one I loved we parted
And God ordained a reunion after that.
And thereafter God decreed we meet again
فافترقناthen we were apart حولاًfor a year فلماthen when اجتمعناwe reunited
فافترقنا حولاً فلما اجتمعنا

We were apart for a year; then, when we reunited,
We met again after some time
His greeting to me was a farewell.
But his greeting to me was a farewell
Sol 6.1
