1. My mouth waters when I remember him,
And from it shine drops of saliva.
١. أَغَصُّ لِذِكرِهِ أَبَداً بِريقي
وَأَشرَقُ مِنهُ بِالماءِ القَراحِ
2. The watching of enemies prevents me -
My going early to visit or my return.
٢. وَتَمنَعُني مُراقَبَةُ الأَعادي
غُدوّي لِلزِيارَةِ أَو رَواحي
3. If my affairs were in my hands,
I would ride to him on the backs of winds.
٣. وَلَو أَنّي أُمَلَّكُ فيهِ أَمري
رَكِبتُ إِلَيهِ أَعناقَ الرِياحِ
