Ah, indeed my heart, at parting from my loved ones,
Alas! My heart is torn by separation from my loved ones
though I do not reveal my ardent longing, is distraught.
Though outwardly I show not my inner turmoil

And my tears, between sorrow and patience, expose me;
My tears reveal the struggle between grief and patience
and my concealment from the reproachers is disobedient and obedient.
As I conceal my pain from the blamer and sympathizer alike
