فراقك فيه حسرتي وتنغّصي

ولو عُدتَ عادت لذتي وسروري

Your absence causes my sorrow and grief

And if you returned, my joy and bliss would come back

بحقِّ الإشارات التي كُنَّ بيننا

أتذكرها أم أنتَ غير ذَكُور

By the truth of the signs that were between us

Do you remember or have you become unmindful?

فمن عينك النجلاء كانت بليتي

فويلاه من غنجٍ بها وفتورِ

From your bright eyes came my affliction

Woe to the languor and indifference in them

تفرَّقتِ اللذّات عنّي لفقدكم

تفرُّقَ أجنادٍ لفقد أمير

Joys have deserted me due to your loss

As armies scatter due to the loss of their commander
