1. O dwellers of Egypt, no, by Allah, you have no
Longing like mine that torments my heart

2. I have resorted to seeking the ways of patience to walk them
Alas, its paths are hidden from me

3. I am one whom the day of separation busies with anguish
Hoping my Lord will relieve him on the day of reunion

4. In my heart is the fire of worries, its flames growing
My eyes an ocean of tears overflowing

5. When I said my heart forgot its dweller
It flared up at the mere mention of you

6. When will I get to see you
And delight in what I yearn as I wish

7. My heart awaits you demanding
The debt of reunion, will its needs not be met

8. My desire is for your roses behind their fence
My heart for your face that allured it

9. I'd sacrifice my father for your beauty that gladdens
Whoever loves reunion will not be bothered by it
