Know the value of what you have lost and weep like one who knows the worth of what is gone.
If you imagined the closeness of loved ones, you would hold a funeral for your distance.
If you inhaled the dawn breeze, your intoxicated heart would awaken.
He who finds the road long, his walk is weakened.
You are not longing if you say there is distance between us,
throughout the nights or across vast distances.
Do you not know that the truthful person, when he resolves, casts his determination before his eyes?
When the heat of August settles in the heart, the rain of March flows from the eyes.
The vigil of the guards became easy when they knew their voices reached the king's ears.
He who contemplates the hereafter, the separation from the world becomes easy for him.
When the falcon catches sight of the prey, it forgets the hand it knows.
O feet of patience, carry the remaining little.
Remember the sweetness of reunion, and the bitterness of struggle will become easy for you.
You know where the abode is, so set a course for it; the highest aspirations race towards it.
It is the aspiration of one who has prepared himself for the meeting with the beloved.
Present the gifts before the meeting, and rejoice with acceptance upon arrival.
And they put forward paradise for themselves. It is pleased with you through fulfilling the obligations.
And the fire is repelled.
