تغيّب مملوكي الذي قد هويته

وخلَّف إيري للهموم يعاني

My beloved has wandered off and I've lost sight of him

Leaving me prey to never ending sorrows

وما نافعي تحت الدّجى نصب فيئتي

وقد حيل بين العير والنَزَوان

Of no use to me is the fortune I've amassed in the dark of night

Now that I'm cut off from my love and his companionship
