صُحُفَ الوَفا مني إليك ومنكَ لي

تترى ولكنْ ما لهنَّ مَنال

The pages of loyalty from me to you and from you to me

Are seen, but they have no fulfillment

فاَحسن بيَ الظن الذي أحسنتهُ

بكَ من تقلّصَ بيننا الترسالُ

So think well of me as I thought well of you

When correspondence between us grew sparse
