1. When darkness closes over me, I reveal

    out of searing longing, what I conceal.

  2. I remember the days I shared with you, and for longing I nearly—

    though I am a man of sober judgment—go mad.

  3. Will a time of union return at al-Tufuf,

    and our radiant, flourishing life return?

  4. I yearn—and is a lover ever blamed

    when he longs yearningly for those he loves?
