أفدِي خليلاً ما كان يجمع لي

أفدِي خليلاً ما كان يجمع لي

بين الثمينين من خلائقه

بين الثمينين من خلائقه

I would give my life for a dear friend who never brought together for me

I would ransom a friend who did not gather for me

the two precious things among his qualities.

The most precious of all his creations

إن ضنَّ بالوصلِ من لقاه فما

إن ضنَّ بالوصلِ من لقاه فما

يضنّ بالوصلِ من مهارقه

يضنّ بالوصلِ من مهارقه

If he begrudges contact through meeting him, he does not

If he was stingy in joining when we met, he was not

begrudge contact through his written pages.

Stingy in parting for good from me
