1. قل لمن غابَ شخصُه عن عياني

    وهواهُ موكَّل بالحُضورِ

    Tell him whose person is absent from my sight,

    while love for him is charged with remaining present:

  2. ما احتِيالي وحبُّكم قلَّد ال

    بين ولاةً ما بين مصرَ وصورِ

    What recourse have I, when love for you has entrusted

    separation to governors between Egypt and Tyre?
