My sorrows have overcome me because you are far away.
My yearnings have overwhelmed me due to your absence,
And sleep has shunned my eyelids since your departure.
And my eyelids have dried after you all.

And a burning anguish flared between my ribs.
Between my ribs lies a burning anguish,
Even the flood could not quench it.
Quenching it has exhausted the floods.

Alas! Patience stays far from me after that,
when I am far from family and homelands?
While I am distant from family and home.

Exposed grief, passion and disgrace!

Yet all that is slight beside separation and its taste.
And that is trivial compared to the taste of separation,
Indeed, separation is the second death.
For separation is the second annihilation.
