1. أَناسِيَةٌ ما كانَ بَيني وَبينَها

    وَقاطِعَةٌ حَبلَ الصَفاءِ ظَلومُ

    Is she forgetting what once was between me and her,

    and is Zalum severing the cord of affection?

  2. تَعالَوا نُجَدِّد دارِسَ الوَصلِ بَينَنا

    كِلانا عَلى طولِ الجَفاءِ مَلومُ

    Come, let us renew the faded bond between us;

    we are both to blame for the long estrangement.

  3. وَأَيُّ بَلاءٍ بِالمُقامِ لَدَيكُمُ

    عَلى غَيرِ وَصلٍ إِنَّ ذا لَعَظيمُ

    And what an affliction it is to remain with you

    without union! Indeed, this is grievous.
