وإن مسيَري من ذُراكَ ضرورةٌ

ولولا اضطراري ما رضيتُ بذلِكا

My journey from you is out of necessity

And were it not for being compelled, I would not have accepted it

وما رِحلتي إلاّ تُبَشِّرُ عاجِلاً

بأنّي أُقيمُ الدهرَ تحتَ ظِلالِكا

And I did not set out except to give good news soon

That I will reside forever in your shade
