لم يستجب لحَياتي بعدَكُم فَرَحٌ
ولم يَلِق بِبَنَانِي بَعدَكُم قدَحُ
No joy has answered my life in your absence;
nor, in your absence, has any goblet felt right at my fingertips.
شوقي إليكم أَعادَ الله عَهدَكُمُ
شوقٌ له في ميادين الهوى مَرَحُ
My longing for you—may God restore the time we shared—
is a longing that frolics through the fields of love.
يخفي مراراً ويبديه تَلَهُّبُه
والنارُ تكمُنُ حيناً ثم تَنقَدِحُ
Again and again it is concealed, but its blaze reveals it;
and fire lies hidden for a while, then bursts into flame.
