1. You reside in my heart and stand between us
And are the light of my eyes though we are far apart

2. Yearning represents you to me every night
So my worries are new and separation is new

3. Most of my worries are that the time of our separation
Is long while my lifetime of misery is long

4. So O rock, neither al-Khansa' nor Naha
Can match the early signs of my tears or what Labid decreed
