إِذا ما اِنقَطَعتُم عَن حِمانا وَزارَنا

كَلامَكُم يحيى الدَّفين مِن الحقد

When you cease visiting us, though we despair,

Your words can resurrect the deeply buried.

فَإِن الَّذي نقليهِ مِنكُم كَلامكُم

فَأَيُّ جَميلٍ تَدّعونَ بِذا البُعدِ

For what I carry of your words within me,

Can any beauty truly claim with such a distance?
