We didn't taste a drink from their ruby lip and they left

Their moon-like face we didn't see enough and they left

It seems they had grown quite weary of our company

Packed up and we didn't reach their dust and they left

So much we recited the opening prayer and Yemeni charm

And after them the Unity chapter we breathed and they left

They coquettishly promised they would pass by us

You saw finally that we bought such coquetry and they left

They strutted in beauty and grace's meadow but

In their union's rose garden we didn't stroll and they left

Like Hafez all night we lamented and wailed

Alas that we didn't reach their farewell and they left
