Tell me if you but do not leave, Your quick return to those who live

On whom shall I lay my trust hence While parting lurks in knowing ones?

He parts whose love told me -fear not Is my trust in him at default?

Stop his parting -my life to save Meeting is rare if he would leave

Will not my gliding bangles' cry The parting of my lord betray?

Bitter is life in friendless place; Worse is parting love's embrace!

Can fire that burns by touch burn like Parting of the hearts love-sick?

Many survive pangs of parting Not I this sore so distressing
