1. يا مَنْ تَرَحَّلَ عن أوْطانِهِمْ بَدَنِي

    كُرْهاً وأَصْبَحَ قَلْبي عندَهُمْ باقِي

    O those from whose homelands my body departed,

    unwillingly, while my heart remains with them.

  2. كَيفَ العَزَاءُ ومِيْعَادُ اللِّقَا بكُمُ

    أدْنَاهُ يَومَ التفَافِ السَّاقِ بالسَّاقِ

    How can there be solace, when the appointed time to meet you

    is, at its earliest, the day when leg entwines with leg?
