بعدتَ فعادَ جديدُ باليْ باليا

وتعطّلتْ حالي وكانتْ حاليَهْ

You went away, so my state returned anew

And my condition was disrupted, though it was fine

فلتَدْنُ أو تبعدْ فكيفَ تصرَّفَتْ

فهي المُنى وحديثُ نفسٍ خاليَهْ

Whether you come near or go far, how could you decide?

For it is my wish, and the talk of an empty soul
