1. Our life was not pleasant without living near you,
The days I spread myself on the ground at your door.
١. ما طابَ كَعَيشِنا بحُزوى عَيشُ
أَيّام ثَرى بابِكُم لي فَرشُ
2. I did not know, as I kissed your soil,
If it was the soil or the engraving that I missed.
٢. لَم أَدرِ وَأَوسَعتُ ثراكم لَثماً
هَل فارق ذا الترابَ ذاكَ النَقشُ
