1. And my dear ones I consoled after their absence
With despair my heart that there will be a meeting
١. وأعزّةٌ عَزَّيتُ بعد فراقهم
باليأس قلبي أن يكون لقاءُ
2. I yearn for them and my recourse is chanting
And to chanting the literati have recourse
٢. أشتاقُهم والى الترنُّمِ مَفزعي
والى الترنُّم يفزعُ الادباءُ
3. And maybe I sated it with a breath
Then almost my lofty heart would split
٣. ولربّما شَبَّعته بتنفُّسٍ
فيكاد يَصدَع قلبيَ الصعداءُ
