غيرتي أنت في جوارِ سُهادي

فاذهبي فاسمعي أنينَ الفؤادِ

You have changed my heart in being near my pillow

So go and listen to the moans of my heart

وانظري ما الذي به فعل الشو

قُ وطول الجفاءِ والابعادِ

And see what separation has done

With its long estrangement and distances

فلعمر الجفونِ لو سلِم القل

بُ لما أصبحت بغير رقادِ

By my eyelids, if my heart was at peace

I would not spend the night sleepless

كيف يحيا من كان فرداً وحيداً

ببلادٍ وإلفه ببلادِ

How can one live who was once alone

In a land, while his people are in other lands
