دَعوني وَتَوديعَ الحَبيبِ بِنَظرَةٍ

يُمَتِّعُني مِنها مَتاعاً إِلى حينِ

Let me bid farewell to my beloved with a glance

That will sustain me for a time

أُوَدِّعُهُ تَوديعَةَ السَهمِ قَوسَهُ

مَدى الدَهرِ يُقصيني وَكَاللَمحِ يُدنيني

I bid him goodbye like an arrow its bow

He sends me far, yet pulls me near in a flash
