1. You're out of sight, no news comes
Not how it used to be between us

ما كَذا بَينَنا اِشتَهَر
2. Uncomplaining though forsaken
Never can I patience make
٢. أَنا ما لي عَلى الجَفا
لا وَلا البُعدِ مُصطَبَر
3. Do not condemn a lover who
Tried for patience but could not endure

رامَ صَبراً فَما قَدَر
4. My eyes denied the vision seen
When you had shown them late nights
٤. أَنكَرَت مُقلَتي الكَرى
حينَ عَرَّفتَها السَهَر
5. Perhaps a glance from you
Would have satisfied the sight
٥. فَعَسى مِنكَ نَظرَةٌ
رُبَّما أَقنَعَ النَظَر

Surpassed sun and moon
٦. غَنِيَت عَينُ مَن يَرا
كَ عَنِ الشَمسِ وَالقَمَر
7. O cold indifferent one, from whom
No word or messenger
٧. أَيُّها المُعرِضُ الَّذي
لا رَسولٌ وَلا خَبَر
8. What happened, happened
Would you had come, made apologies
٨. وَجَرى مِنهُ ما جَرى
لَيتَهُ جاءَ وَاِعتَذَر
9. Each fault an honor guard
For your fair visage forgives
٩. كُلُّ ذَنبٍ كَرامَةً
لِمُحَيّاكَ مُغتَفَر
10. I sit where a group assembles
You they see and study clear
١٠. أَنا في مَجلِسٍ يَرو
قُكَ مَرأىً وَمُختَبَر
11. Some radiant, some shining
Delight of ear and eye to hear
١١. بَينَ شادٍ وَشادِنٍ
نُزهَةُ السَمعِ وَالبَصَر
12. And company, speaking of whom
Books and legends trumpet fame
١٢. وَصِحابٍ بِذِكرِهِم
تَفخَرُ الكُتُبُ وَالسِيَر
13. When they converse, their talk
Is lily and blossom
١٣. وَإِذا ما تَفاوَضوا
فَهُمُ الزُهرُ وَالزَهَر
14. So come favor us, our day
With you a visit graces faire
١٤. فَتَفَضَّل فَيَومُنا
بِكَ إِن زُرتَنا أَغَر
