The companions departed, so my tears
The mixture sparkled, so my tears
pour forth in longing for them.
Poured out in sorrow for them all.

ق عن المنازل فاستقلوا
And parting’s camel-driver sang them onward
Alone I bid the horsemen there
away from the dwellings, so they set off.
To leave and journey on their way.

Beyond my sight, whose absence fills

No harm had come to them if they
from the water of their union, and then a second?
Had stopped to drink, then ridden on.
