1. العُذرُ مِنكَ عَلى الحالاتِ مَقبولُ

    وَالعَتبُ مِنكَ عَلى العِلّاتِ مَحمولُ

    Your excuse is accepted in every circumstance.

    And your reproach is borne despite all troubles.

  2. لَولا اِشتِياقِيَ لَم أَقلَق لِبُعدِكُمُ

    وَلا غَدا في زَماني بَعدُكُم طولُ

    Were it not for my longing, I would not fret at your distance,

    Nor would my days have grown long after you.

  3. وَكُلُّ مُنتَظِرٍ إِلّاكَ مُحتَقَرٌ

    وَكُلُّ شَيءٍ سِوى لُقياكَ مَملولُ

    And everyone who waits, except you, is held in contempt,

    And everything except meeting you is wearisome.
