أَلَم تَرْبَعُ فَتُخبِركَ المَغاني

فَكَيفَ وَهُنَّ مذْ حججَ ثَمانِ

Did you not spend time with them to let their songs inform you

How then, since they left on the eighth pilgrimage

بَرِئتُ مِنَ المَنازِلِ غَيرَ شَوقٍ

إِلى الدَّارِ الَّتي بلوى أَبانِ

I am done with all dwellings but yearning

For the abode where we shared joy in times long gone

وَمِن وادي القنانِ وَأَينَ مِنّي

بداراتِ الرُّها وادي القَنانِ

For the valley of lilies, how far am I from it

The valley of lilies and the land of delight

وَأَصْحَرنا وَلا عُطُفٌ عَلَينا

لَهُمْ غَيرُ المحَامِلِ وَالجِنانِ

In our barren desert, no kindness comes our way

While they enjoy only bliss and gardens of paradise
