1. Perhaps, perhaps due to my reunion there will be
New leaves on their branches after they were stripped bare.
١. عَسى ما عَسى من عودِ شمليَ يكتَسي
بعَودِهم بعد التسلُّب أَوراقا
2. Since their departure no spring has described itself to me,
Nor has life been sweet though it seemed pleasant and fair.
٢. فَلَم يصفُ لي من بَعدهم قطُّ مورِدٌ
ولا لذَّ لي عَيشٌ وإِن طابَ أَو راقا
