Painful Parting Poem by Lawrence Hiung

The pain of parting may you never endure
May you never experience a siren's allure

A beggar I am; my love is profane
And I have endured a lot of pain

Being wretched and lonely I do not enjoy
Oh, how this pain I would like to destroy

But where should I go and what should I do?
I'm completely lost; I have no clue

My life is sad; there is no joy
This pain of mine may God destroy

If the pain of parting could feel my pain
It won't endure it; it would go insane

I have no hope; there is only despair
this pain, O God, was I born to bear?

So, Hafiz, I feel like a nightingale
Having lost his rose, who can only wail.
