زَعَموا بِأَنَّ البَينَ بَعدَ غَدٍ

فالقَلبُ مِمّا أَحدَثوا يَجِفُ

They claimed that parting would come tomorrow

So the heart is desiccated by what they perpetrated

والعَينُ مُنذ أُجِدَّ بَينُهمُ

مِثلَ الجُمانِ دُموعُها تَكِفُ

And since they existed, the eye

Weeps like a rainstorm

وَمَقالُها وَدُموعُها سُجُمٌ

أَقلِل حَنينَكَ حينَ تَنصَرِفُ

Its tears and laments are agonizing

Lessen your yearning when you leave

تَشكو وَنَشكو ما أَشَتَّ بِنا

كُلٌّ بِوَشكِ البَينِ مُعتَرِفُ

It complains and we complain of what has befallen us

Each admitting, with the misery of separation
