1. She prays at forenoon while we are apart; by evening, we meet.

    To clasp our two free hands in affection.

  2. If an intention has carried Ṣafrāʾ far away,

    And her patron has grown attentive, harboring a grudge,

  3. Then tell her: peace and mercy from me.

    And ask the Doer what she has done since I left.

  4. May God rebuke those who reproached me for loving her,

    For destiny had already come first in my heart and mind.

Sol 6
