سارَت مَحافِل حَياتي يا أَهيل الحي
مِن بَعد ذا البُعد ما تَقولم عَلى حي
The gatherings of my life have departed, O dear folk of the quarter.
After this separation, do not tell them that I am alive.
فَيا نَسيم الصِبا حي الحَبايِب حي
أَصبَحَ بِوَجدي كَما أَمسيت في أَسجان
So, O east wind, greet the beloved—greet them!
I came to morning in my longing, just as I came to evening in prisons.
وَاِشكى مَشا كل جوى قَلبي لِحاكِم حي
And I complain to a living Judge of every burning grief that coursed through my heart.
