هذا الذي يدعي بالحب معرفةً

ماكانَ أصدقهُ لو أنّه زارا !!!

He who claims to know love

Would not have been so truthful, had he visited!

لم يدرِ ماذرفتْ عينِي لِغيبته

لو كان ذا كلفٍ ..مثلي .. لما جارا

He did not know what my eyes shed in his absence

Had he been so inclined...like me...he would not have fled

في كلّ سانحةٍ أزجيهِ قافيَتي

وجداً تبوح له .. جهراً وإسْرارا

In every circumstance I rhyme my verses for him

Sincerely confessing to him...openly and in secret

وليس يعلمُ ما في الصدرِ من أسفٍ

ممّا أكابده .. هجراً وإنكارا

Yet he does not know the sorrow in my heart

From his estrangement and denial that I endure

بالله يا أملاً .. في الروحِ مسكنُه

زُرني فداكَ أنا .. يكفيك إدْبَارا

For God's sake, my hope...his dwelling in the soul

Visit me, your ransom is me...it is enough to turn away
