1. يَا سَاعَةَ البَيْنِ قد نَسِيتُ بِما

    كابَدْتُهُ منكَ لَذَّةَ الزَّمَنِ

    O hour of parting, through what I suffered

    from you, I have forgotten the sweetness of time.

  2. قَدْ ظَعَنَ الرَّكْبُ بِالجَمالِ وَبِال

    حُسْنِ وَعُدْنا بالشَّوْقِ والحَزَنِ

    The caravan has departed with beauty and with—

    loveliness; and we returned with longing and sorrow.
