1- How strange! I say Salam to the beloved’s grave But the beloved does not answer the Salam I gave
2- Oh my beloved! Why is it that you fail to respond? After our separation, have you forgotten our bond?
3- How can I answer you? The beloved replies For wedged between stones and sand am I
4- The sand swallowed my merits, so you I forgot From my family and friends I was hidden and blocked
5- Upon you be my Salam, my peace Our friendship is now finished and ceased
