Were it not for parting from the departing companions,
If not for dispelling the departing turmoil,
The anguish of draining passion would not have grown fierce in me.
My passion for you would not have departed.

No, nor would a scorching blaze have been kindled
No, never will I ignite within my essence,
In my heart by the torrent of my overflowing tears.
A blazing flame from my overflowing tears.

It is a parting that left you captive to yearning,
It is a separation that left you hostage,
Weeping at the flash of glimmering lightning,
To youthfulness, crying for the gleaming gaze.

Especially when one awaiting its glow spends the night
Especially when the yearner spends the night,
Choosing a fleeting glimpse for a watchful eye.
Choosing a glance from a fleeting eye.

And through the night my heart is rent with rapture
And stays up out of joy, with my heart clamoring,
By the song of the full-throated bird in their groves.
The singing bird of Duhann chirping loudly.

And a sweet-voiced one, honeyed in manner—were he to appear
And sings the mellifluous traits, if only
Before the full moon, it would hide and say, 'You put me to shame.'
The full moon emerged and said “You have exposed me!”

Alas for me because of him! How long will he overdo his reproach,
Woe to him from its glances that lavish the intoxication,
Heeding every spiteful tale-bearer against me?
Obeying within me every intrusive ogler.

How long this estrangement and rejection? By your languid eye
How long will this aloofness and rejection last,
And the scent of musk wafting from your mouth,
My dear, and the scent of musk within you diffusing?

Have pity—let a blazing sigh suffice you,
Show me some compassion, just a sigh,
Whose red fires burn between my ribs.
Its red embers between my wings.
