How can I cope with your absence, for I lack the strength to endure?
I am devoid of the means for patience and the stamina for resilience.

I fear my loneliness might lead to my disgrace,
It is not disgrace I fear, but the terror of being alone.

I am not bold enough to pull you into my embrace,
Instead, I kiss your feet, for I have no higher reach.

I am captivated by your beauty, but in the garden of union,
I sing like a crow, for I lack the melodious voice of the nightingale.

Since the image of your face was etched in my vision,
I no longer see myself; I have no room for self-conceit.

I bear the pain of separation, though I am utterly broken,
I carry the weight of your tyranny, even though I lack the strength.

Your heart has grown weary of me and now seeks another,
Whom should I turn to? None match your unparalleled nature.

Saadi, my fiery tongue burns for you like a candle in grief,
Yet, despite my fiery words, I cannot ignite your passion.
