مَن مُبلِغٌ عَنّي أَبا كامِلِ

أَنّي إِذا ما غابَ كَالهامِلِ

Who will convey to Abu Kamil

That when he is absent, I yearn like an ardent lover,

وَزادَني شَوقاً إِلى قُربِهِ

ما قَد مَضى مِن دَهرِنا الحائِلِ

And the time passed between us makes me long more for his nearness,

When I meet him, I remain intoxicated with joy for days.

إِنّي إِذا عاطَيتُهُ مُزَةً

ظَلتُ بيومِ الفَرَحِ الجاذِلِ
