1. لَعَمْري لَئِنَ كَانَتْ نَواكُم تَباعَدَتْ

    لِمَا قَرَّ بَيْناً منكمُ الدارُ أَطْولا

    By my life, if your remoteness has grown greater,

    [Wording unclear:] for the dwelling has settled into a longer separation from you.

  2. فَإِنَ تَنْأَ بِيَ الدَّارُ منكم لَمُبْلِغٌ

    إِلَيْنَا وَإِنْ كانَ التَّبَصُّرُ أَجْمَلا

    Then, if the dwelling carries me far from you, surely someone will convey word

    to us, though seeing clearly would be finer.
