يَقوم حَنيناً واشتياقاً بذكركم

إِذا ما هَدا الناس الخليون بِالنَومِ

He arises, yearning and longing, remembering you all,

When the quiet people fall asleep at night.

يجدُّ بكم شوقاً فَيَذري مَدامِعاً

فَلا تَعذلوه فَهوَ لَم ينه بِاللَومِ

He finds in you a passion, shedding copious tears -

So do not blame him, for he did not intend any fault.
