كَم لِلمَنازِلِ مِن شَهرٍ وَأَعوامِ

بِالمُنحَنى بَينَ أَنهارٍ وَآجامِ

How many months and years have passed

By the winding river and hillsides steep

مَضى ثَلاثُ سِنينٍ مُنذُ حُلَّ بِها

وَعامَ حُلَّت وَهَذا التابِعُ الخامي

Three years have passed since first I arrived

Another year has come and gone, the last to keep
