صب ونى ليل الرحيل ونَامَه

هتفَت به الأشواق حين ونَى مَه

The night of departure cried for him

And longing called out as he turned away

ماذا التواني والركايب في السرى

قُدّام حاديها العقيقُ ورامه

Why hesitate with luggage in secret?

Before you coral mounts and scattered sands

ما عاقه التقصير إلا شاقه

برق تألّق بالأبيرق شامه

Nothing equals shortcoming but yearning

A lightning flashed with green lights evening glow

قد ظلّ في شمس الهواجر سائراً

شوقاً لبدر ظللته غمامه

Walking in emigrant's sun he continued

Yearning for a full moon shadowed by clouds

الحامدُ الحامي نزيل جنابه

أوفى وأكفى مَن يصون ذمامه

The Ever-Praiser, the Guardian, dwells in His vicinity

The most faithful and perfect in keeping His ties

نبعت عيون الماء من راحاته

وبكفه أبدى الجماد كلامه

Eyes rained from His palms

And His hands speaking make the inanimate talk

والبدر شُقّ لأجله وكذا سعت

شجر الفلا حُبّاً له وكرامه

The moon split for His sake and so stretching

Trees inclined with love and veneration to Him

فعليه والآل الكرام وصحبه

وإلى إله الأرض صلاته وسلامه

Upon Him, His honored kin and companions

And the Lord of earth peace and blessings everlasting
