1. خَلّفتُموني في الدِيار وَسرتُمُ

    رَهن الأَسى وَطَعين سَهم البين

    You left me behind in the dwellings and departed,

    A captive of sorrow, pierced by separation’s arrow.

  2. أَبكي كَأَنّ عَلَيَّ حَقّاً واجِباً

    أَقضيهِ في شَرع الهَوى مِن عَيني

    I weep as though I owe a binding debt

    That, under love’s law, I pay from my eye.
