I wished, in both states of joy and sorrow,
I took joy and sorrow in my state,
and in both conditions of parting and reunion.
And my place of separation and union.

Parting was decreed; I grew gray from fear of parting.
Grey hairs sprouted when I feared parting,
And who does not grow gray at separation?
And he who does not grey with parting,

And we embraced; I grew gray from the fragrance of your breaths,
When we embraced, your sweet breath
when you favored me with an embrace.
Made my hair grey when you hugged me.

They are perfume; perfume and parting bring gray hair
It is sweet, and sweetness and parting bring
swiftly to kings and lovers.
Quick greying to kings and lovers.
