وُدِّي لَكُمْ سَادتي بِالبُعْدِ ما نَقَصَا

وَالقَلْبُ في حُبِّكُمْ بالحَبِّ قَد قُنِصَا

My love for you, my masters, has not waned with distance,

And my heart's affection for you has not diminished.

غَاليْتُ فِيكُمْ وعَاصَيتُ العَذُولَ وَقَدْ

أَطَعْتُمْ وَاشِياً قَدْرِي بِهِ رَخُصا

I have been devoted to you, disobeying the critic,

And I have obeyed the slightest gesture, so gracious.

مَتى أَرى النَّصْرَ مِنْكُمْ مُقْبِلاً وأَرَى

شَيْطَانَ ضِدِّي على أَعقابِهِ نَكَصَا

When will I see triumph coming from you, and see

My enemy devil retreating backward, vanquished?
