1. You have exceeded the limit in estrangement,
So do not make abandonment a habit.
١. لَقَد جُزتَ في الصَدِّ حَدَّ الزِيادَه
فَلا تَجعَلِ الهَجرَ خُلقاً وَعادَه
2. I have an intense yearning for you,
And your heart testifies to this testimony.
٢. فَعِندي اِشتِياقٌ شَديدٌ إِلَيكَ
وَقَلبُكَ يَشهَدُ هَذي الشَهادَه
3. You have accustomed me to your affection,
And what the heart seeks is only its habit.
٣. وَعَوَّدتَني مِنكَ حُسنَ الوَدادِ
وَما يَطلُبُ القَلبُ إِلّا اِعتِيادَه
4. I knew you as the best of steeds,
So I ask you for excellence from you.
٤. وَإِنّي عَهِدتُكَ نَجلَ الجِيادِ
لِذَلِكَ أَطلُبُ مِنكَ الإِجادَه
5. If you would gift me with your presence,
How could a servant attain such felicity?
٥. فَإِن أَنتَ أَتحَفتَني بِالحُضورِ
فَمِن أَينَ لِلعَبدِ هَذي السَعادَه
