1. دِمنَاً بأكناف العقيق خوالي

    حييتِ من دِمَنٍ ومن أطلالِ

    Deserted remnants on the outskirts of al-ʿAqīq,

    hail to you, remnants and ruins!

  2. وسَقَتْ سماءُ الشوقِ رَبعكَ دائماً

    بسحائبٍ من مُقلتيِّ ثقالِ

    And may the sky of longing forever water your dwelling

    with heavy clouds from my two eyes.

  3. لِلّه كم أرخصْتُ فيكِ مدامعاً

    قد كنّ من قبل الفِراق غوالي

    By God, how many tears I have spent cheaply over you,

    which were precious before parting.
