They said, “Is your mind preoccupied?” So I said to them:
They said your mind is preoccupied, so I told them:
“And how can my mind be at peace when they have departed?”
How can my mind be at ease when they are gone

All the details remain in my memory.
All the details are still in my memory
For the longing within me can no longer be borne.
So longing inside me has become unbearable

Ever since they left me alone in spirit in their wake,
Since they left me, my soul alone after them
My eye has been weeping, and my heart’s pulse is aflame.
My eyes weep and my heart's pulse is inflamed

As loved ones whom no one can replace in my heart.
As loved ones, none can replace them in my heart
