1. يا سيِّدي كيف كنتَ في سَفَرِكْ

    مازال قلبي يهيمُ في أثَرِكْ

    O my master, how were you on your journey?

    My heart still wanders lovesick in your wake.

  2. تركتَني مفرداً أخا شَجَنٍ

    وقاكَ ربّي وزادَ في عُمُرِك

    You left me alone, a brother to sorrow.

    May my Lord protect you and prolong your life.

  3. بلَّغكَ اللَهُ كلَّ ما كنتَ تَه

    واهُ وما قد تحبُّ من وَطَرِك

    May God grant you all that you have longed

    for, and whatever wishes you may cherish.

  4. يقتبس البدرُ من سنا وجهكَ ال

    مُشرقِ والليل حَلَّ في شَعرِك

    The full moon borrows light from the glow of your face,

    which shines, while night has settled in your hair.
