1. My friend, rejoice at our visit to the tribe,
Both friend and foe of the clan,
١. أَيا صاحِبي أَبشِر بِزَورَتِنا الحِمى
وَأَهلَ الحِمى مِن مُبغِضٍ وَوَدودِ
2. My eyes twitched in joyful welcome,
Signaling the beauty of reunion after the ugliness of separation.
٢. قَدِ اِختَلَجَت عَيني فَدَلَّ اِختِلاجُها
عَلى حُسنِ وَصلٍ بَعدَ قُبحِ صُدودِ
