يا أبا قاسمٍ قطعْتَ من العا

داتِ ما كان وصلُه بك أنكى

O Abu Qasim, you have severed what was connected with you painfully

And what is lost from it is enough for us instead of what has passed

وكفانا مكان ما فات منه

فضلُ من أضحك الأنامَ وأبكى

The favor of one who made people laugh and cry

And we left you, and you chose and we do not see any alternative to your connection

وتركناك والذي قد تخير

تَ ولسنا نرى لوصلك تركا

And we will increase in preservation and love

If you increase in decisive separation

وسنزدادُ في الحِفاظِ وفي الودْ

دِ إذا ازددتَ في القطيعةِ مَحْكا

Indeed, the best of fruits is that which eating reminds one of it over and over

إن خيرَ الثمار ما ردّه الأكْ

لُ مردّاً أُنيطَ ذكراه عنكا
