1. Parting, O Muhammad, after estrangement
Made me live delightfully in your company

2. You left the fair complexion longing
For Aleppo though with no excuse

3. And you were a full moon for its people then they
I wish I could sacrifice myself for you without the full moon

4. Why did you break the pact of love
You folded up my affection after spreading

5. You granted me undeserved lines
To be addressed to me in your handwriting

6. I would have felt sadder for your loss
Than al-Khansa' when Sakhr died
