بالصحبة يا صاح اذا جزت بحي

بالصحبة يا صاح اذا جزت بحي

فاشرح كلفي بها وما تمّ علي

فاشرح كلفي بها وما تمّ علي

By our friendship, O friend, when you pass through a quarter,

With companions, O friend, when you pass through my neighborhood

Then explain my passion for her and what has befallen me.

Unburden to them my longing, and do not blame me

قل ذاك حليف الشوق قد صيره

قل ذاك حليف الشوق قد صيره

هجرانك شاهداً على صورة حي

هجرانك شاهداً على صورة حي

Say: that ally of longing has already been turned

Say, "That companion of yearning, your abandonment has made

By your desertion into a gravestone in the shape of a living man.

A witness over the image of the living."
