1. وإني وإن حال التفرق بيننا

    وجد لما القاه دونكم وجدي

    And I, though separation has come between us,

    and my yearning has intensified through what I endure apart from you,

  2. لأصدقكم مني الوداد على النوى

    وصدق ما كان الوداد على البعد

    shall surely be sincere in my affection for you, despite separation;

    and true is the affection that endures despite distance.
