يا مَن هجرتُ له الأَهلينَ والوطَنا

وصارَمَت مقلتي في حُبِّهِ الوَسَنا

O you whom I left my family and homeland for

And my eyelids have become weak in love for you

لأَشكرنَّ اجتهاداً كان آخرُه

ما قلَّدَ الجيدَ مِن تلقائكَ المِنَنا

I will thank the efforts whose end

Was that your spontaneity bestowed gifts upon my neck

فاسمح بقربكَ للنفسِ التي حَكَمت

لها المطالِبُ أَن تُحيي بكَ الزَّمنا

So allow my soul, which desires have decreed,

To come near you, that through you it may revive time
