Peace be upon you—how bitter your departure!
Greetings to you, how difficult is your absence!
And how dark and desolate the world is for us!
How dark and lonely the world seems without you.

وما دامت الأحزان ألقيت بعدكم
إذاwhen أنتyou فؤاديmy heart والجوارحand the limbs والحشاand the inward parts
إذا أنت فؤادي والجوارح والحشا
And as long as sorrows endure, I have been cast down since you left,
As long as sorrows last since you left,
when you are my heart, my limbs, and my innermost being.
You who are my heart, my faculties, my thoughts.
