1. قلبي تصدعه الهموم وحظه

    كدر من الاعداء والاحباب

    My heart is rent by worries, and its lot

    Is distress from enemies and loved ones.

  2. نشرت به الاحزان طيا كله

    غصص لها دمعي كسيل سحاب

    Sorrows have unfolded within it a fold, all of it

    Choking pangs; for them my tears are like a torrent from clouds.

  3. هيهات يصفو من يكدر صفوه

    روح نحن لعودة الغياب

    Far from serenity is one whose serenity is clouded by

    A spirit; we yearn for the return of the absent.
