يُقَبِّلُ الأَرضَ وَيُنهي إِلى

مالِكِهِ شِدَّةَ أَشواقِهِ

He kisses the ground and directs

The intensity of his longing to its owner

ما غَيَّرَ البُعدُ سِوى جِسمِهِ

وَلَم يُغَيِّر صَفوَ أَخلاقِهِ

Distance has changed nothing but his body

It has not changed the purity of his morals

فَاِبكِ عَلى الصَبِّ الغَريبِ الَّذي

قَد أَمسَكَ البَينُ بِأَطواقِهِ

So cry for the lonely young man whom

Separation has clasped by the neck
