يا مَنْ بِبُعادِهِ لِقَلْبي قَرَضَا

ظُلْماً وبِحبّهِ لِقَتْلي فَرَضا

O you whose distance has rent my heart with sorrow

And whose love has imposed my murder upon me

مُذْ غِبْتَ مَدامِعي بِخدِّي انْسَكَبَتْ

وَاللَّه وَجَفْنُ مُقْلتِي ما غَمَضَا

Since you left, my tears have flowed down my cheeks

By God, my eyelids have not blinked
