هَا قَدْ تَبَدَّلْتُ أَوْطاناً بِأَوْطانِ

عَمْداً وَفَارَقْتُ خُلاناً بِخُلانِ

I have deliberately changed homelands for homelands

And parted from friends for friends

فَلْيَبْلُغِ الشَّوْقُ بِي أَقْصى مَرَاتِبِهِ

فَكَمْ بُدُورٍ عَلَى قُضْبانِ كُثْبانِ

So let longing reach its utmost in me

For how many risings and settings on the dunes of sand dunes

فَإِنَّني باذِلٌ بِالصَّبْرِ عِنْدَ فَتىً

تَقْبِيلُ وَجْنَتِهِ وَالرُّكْنِ سِيَّانِ

I am steadfast with patience before a youth

Kissing his cheek or the corner is the same
