1. بَكى البَينَ قَبلي عاشِقون وَلا أَرى

    لِيَوم فُراق آخر الدَّهر باكِيا

    Lovers before me wept over separation, but I do not see myself

    ever weeping for a day of parting, as long as time endures.

  2. أُقيم مُقامَ الحَيّ حَتّى إِذا رمت

    بِهِم نِيَّةٌ أَصبَحتُ في الحَيّ غادِيا

    I stay as long as the tribe stays, until, when a resolve carries

    them away, I set out at dawn among the tribe.
