1. The beloved’s phantom came by night, across the distance,

    to reconcile my eyes with sleep.

  2. So until morning, my hand remained a pillow

    for his cheek, just as his hand was my pillow.

  3. My life be ransom for the one who restored my soul to me,

    and returned my heart to his breast.

  4. A phantom visited me when it saw me

    barred from visiting him by the blows of fate.

  5. It communes with me despite his estrangement,

    and draws me near despite the long separation.

Sol 5.6
