1. ودَّعتَ فاركبْ جناحَ البَينِ في سَفَرهْ

    هذا الفراقُ وهذا الموتُ في أَثرِهْ

    You have bid farewell; so ride the wing of separation on its journey.

    This is parting, and this is death in its wake.

  2. مَن يشتكي البينَ لا يشكو غوائلهُ

    قلبٌ يراكَ إذا ما غِبتَ عن بَصرِهْ

    Who laments separation? Its calamities are not lamented

    by a heart that sees you when you are absent from its sight.
