Our beloved has departed from the homeland, which
Our beloved has left her homeland
Has become black and dark after the parting.
Which after separation has turned jet black,

Do not marvel at the blackness of the land around us,
Do not be surprised at the blackness of the land around us,
For when the sun sets, the sky turns black.
For when the sun sets, the sky darkens
