أَحْبابَنا أَيْنَ ذَاكَ العَهْدُ قَدْ نُقِضَا

وَأَيْنَ عَصْرٌ بأَيَّامِ الوِصَالِ مَضَى

Our friends, where is that covenant now broken

And where is the era of days of union gone

وَأَيْنَ أَيْمانُكُمْ بِاللَّهِ أَنَّكُموا

لا تَمْزِجُونَ بِسُخْطٍ في الغَرامِ رِضَا

And where is your oath by Allah that you

Would not mix displeasure with love and acceptance

عُودُوا فَقَدْ أَوْحَشَ النادي لغَيْبَتِكُمْ

عَنْهُ وأَظْلَم ما قَدْ كانَ مِنْهُ أَضَا

Return, for your absence has made the gathering place lonely

And darker than it had been before

لَمَّا رَميْتُم سِهَامَ البَيْنِ عَنْ مَلَلٍ

صَيَّرتُموا كُلَّ قَلْبٍ في الهَوَى غَرَضَا

When you shot the arrows of separation out of boredom

You made every heart in passion a target

أَشْكُو إليكُمْ سُقَامي مِنْ فِراقِكُمُ

تَاللَّهِ لا جَوْهَراً أَبْقَى ولا عَرَضاً

I complain to you of my illness from your separation

By Allah, neither essence nor honor remains

حَسْبِي مُحَافظةً أَنِّي أمُوتُ بِكُمْ

وَجْداً ولَسْتُ أَرَجّي عَنْكُم عِوَضَا

It is enough for me to die longing for you

With passion, and I do not expect any substitute for you
