لاَ مَرحَباً بالناشِزِ الفارِك

إذ جَهِلَت رِفعَةَ مِقدارِك

No welcome to the defiant one who parted

Having ignored your exalted worth

لو أنَّها قد أوتِيَت رُشدَهَا

ما بَرِحَت تَعشُو إلى نَارِك

Had she been granted wisdom

She would have yearned for your fire

أقسَمتُ بالنُّور المُبِينِ الذي

مِنهُ بَدَت مِشكاةُ أنوارِك

I swear by the evident Light

From which shone the lantern of your lights

ومَظهر الحُكمِ الحَكيمِ الذي

يَتلُو عليهِ طِيبَ أخبارِك

And the appearance of the Wise Judge

Upon whom follows your good tidings

ما ألِفَت مِثلُكَ كُفؤاً ولا

أوَت إلى أكرَمَ من دَارِك

You have not found a match nor

Reached one more generous than your home
