Sol 5.6

  1. Separation and sundering have riven my heart,

    and Umm al-Banin departed, taking my reason with her.

  2. My soul remained beside her, among the camel litters,

    while my companions carried my body away.

  3. And I said, as my eyes streamed

    with tears like the overflow of a brimming bucket,

  4. in anguish at parting, on the day she departed:

    “God, Lord of the Ascents, is enough for me—enough.”
