Claude 2

  1. قَد كانَ أَحسَنَ شَيءٍ بَعدَ بُعدِهِم

    بِروحٍ مِثلَكَ أَن تَنأَى عَنِ الجَسَدِ

    It was best after their absence

    For a soul like yours to withdraw from the body

  2. هُم بِالوِصالِ أَعادوها إِلَيكَ فَلم

    ذَخَرتَها بَعدَهُم لِلصَبرِ وَالجَلَدِ

    They, by joining, returned it to you but you

    Did not hoard it after them, for patience and composure

  3. وَعَدتَ بِالدَمعِ تَعليلاً كَأَنَّكَ قَد

    أَظهَرتَ ما لَيسَ مَوجوداً لَدى أَحَدِ

    And you returned with tears as proof as if you had

    Revealed what was not present in anyone
