1. Your prolonged absence, when will I meet you
And return to the beloved homeland happily

2. When he saw you adorning his neck
He longed for you and called out to you

3. For your precious virtues there is clear superiority
That calls for loving you as a witness to your loyalty

4. You have praiseworthy traits engraved
In the hearts of leaders meaningfully

5. O Gatherer of graces overflowing them
Why not be generous with an extra morsel for your peer

6. You are not stingy or grudging
The stingy one has no glory whatsoever

7. The noble companionship does not deny favors
That the one who travels at night falls short of

8. They followed you wherever you went
And took on some of your qualities

9. And of the wonders is that they did not envy you for your superiority
Rather, they congratulated the blossoming of your splendor

10. O son of the generous Tuwainis, praise be to you
For you built the house of pottery with your hands

11. I do not forget the day you came to Egypt, and you were to me
In it like Yusuf, triumphant in your clarity

12. You have wandered astray from the meadow of love
I do not awaken except to your memory

13. I am that longing one, whom absence deprived me
Unjustly, after meeting you abandoned your intention

14. A good gathering stirred up intention
No sooner had it lasted than the sword of your separation struck

15. Love awakened the one slumbering blissfully
Although he did not sleep since your departure

16. Like a breeze that blew upon the hidden embers
And uncovered your spearheads

17. Say to separation, I am steadfast
So let it strike me with its deadly arrows

18. I will not waver until I melt its heart
And confront its shoulder with the sword of meeting you

19. One day, happiness will gather me with the protector
Then I will dance with joy crazily

20. Or not, so in the blessed Nile there is a watering place
That will quench the anguish of a friend when he sees you
