Your letter arrived, distinguished by four qualities,
Your book came specially bound in four
Sublime and far above vexation and distress:
It shed light, shedding the gloom and sorrow

O you who have gone far away—no, by God, never have
Oh you who migrated, by God I had not hoped
My eyes hoped since parting for anything but tears and sleeplessness.
That my eyes would see beyond tears and wakefulness

Indeed, you have donned my heart from within its ribs,
You have dressed my heart in yearning from its wings
Out of longing—so return my heart, or take my body.
So return my heart or take my body
