1. Three days of longing seem as long
As three hard years of separation's throng
١. ثَلاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ قَطعْتَ لِطولِها
ثَلاثَ شَدَيداتٍ مِن السَّنَواتِ
2. That hid the lovely face of my dear friend
Muhayya's son, of virtues without end
٢. حَجَبْنَ مُحَيَّا الصَّاحِبِ ابنِ مُحمّدٍ
لِيجمَعَ بَيْنَ الحُسْنِ والحَسَناتِ
