My beloved is gone, and a memento remains for me

A saffron-colored face, tearful eyes, and alas!

My two eyes are full of moisture, as long as he resides within them

(Like) the Euphrates and Kauthar, the life-giving water of life

Why does my face not become like gold, since it is connected

To the boundless treasure and mine of beauty, loveliness, and worth?

Why does it say 'alas!' because it is Jacob

Separated from his moon-faced Joseph

If he departs in coquetry, I will become laden with stars

When the sun of eternal life reaches him, he will arrive

If he has driven me out of the pasture of the soul

Where is the courage and strength that I may say to him, 'Why?'

The 'Am I not?' of love arrived, and whoever said 'Yes'

As witness, (he) said, 'Yes, there are a hundred thousand afflictions'

Affliction is correct, and in affliction, it makes you clever

Especially in the orphanhood that is from that sea

I am his dove, even if he drives me from the top of the reed

Where shall I fly, (I will) not fly except around his roof and house

I am, from his shadow, the world-conquering sun

That kingship will reach the one who finds the shadow of the homa (royal bird)

Enough of invitation, invitation, leave it and say a prayer

The Messiah went to the fourth heaven on the wings of prayer
