    The separation has cheated Ahmed the son of Yazeed

    The actions of time are not praiseworthy

  2. وَنَأى الهَجرُ بِالَّذي لا أُسَمّي

    فَأَنا اليَومَ في القَريبِ البَعيدِ

    And estrangement has taken away the one I do not name

    So today I am in the near far

  3. فَفِراقٌ أَصابَني مِن فِراقٍ

    وَفِراقٌ أَصابَني مِن صُدودِ

    And a separation has afflicted me from repulsions

  4. لَيسَ مَن كانَ غائِباً فَقَدَتهُ ال
