Our beloved ones, how can we meet, when between us and you
Our loved ones, how was the meeting without you
lies the expanse of trackless wastes and wide-open deserts?
The plains stretched out, the winds blowing free

You made my eye weep blood at parting from you,
You made my eyes weep blood from missing you
so it is as though its pupil were wounded.
As if my being was deeply wounded

And my heart, when the thought of you comes to mind, is like
And as if when your memory stirs my heart
