إِذا ما دَعَوتُ الصَبرَ بَعدَكِ وَالبُكا
أَجابَ البُكا طَوعاً وَلَم يُجِبِ الصَبرُ
Whenever, in your absence, I summon patience and weeping,
weeping answers readily, but patience does not.
فَإِن تَقطَعي مِنكِ الرَجاءَ فَإِنَّهُ
سَيَبقى عَلَيكِ الحُزنُ ما بَقِيَ الدَهرُ
If you cut off all hope I have of you, then
grief for you will remain as long as time endures.
Sol 5.6
