يا راحلاً أمسى يَزُم رِكابَهُ
قَدْ زَمَّ صَبري فهوَ أوَّلُ راحِلِ
O you who depart when patience fails him
My patience had failed, so he was the first to depart
اللهُ يعلَمُ أنَّني لِفِراقِكُمْ
في لَوْعَةٍ مَوصولَةٍ ببَلابِل
God knows that because of parting with you
I am in continuous agony bound to afflictions
إن رُمْتُ عنكَ تَصبُّراً فالصبَّرُ أوّ
لُ خاذِلٍ والعَدْلُ أولُ عادلِ
If I show patience in leaving you, such patience
Is the first betrayer while justice is the first righteous
