لعمركَ ما فارقت شماء عن قلي

ولكن أطلت النأي عنها فملّتِ

By your life, the fragrance of Shamaa never parted from my heart,

But separation from her has been prolonged, so she wearied.

مقيماً بمروَرُّوذَ لا أنا قافِلٌ

إليها ولا ترنو إذا هي حلّتِ

Staying in Marw ur Roz, neither am I returning

To it, nor does it yearn when she alights.
