يَموتُ الفَتى شَوقاً إِلى الحُسنِ وَحدَهُ
فَكَيفَ بِمَن قَد فارَقَ الحُسنَ وَالحُسنى
The young man dies longing for beauty alone
So what of one who has left both beauty and glory
وَما مِصرُ مُذ فارَقتَها غَيرُ لَفظَةٍ
فَرَدَّ عَلَيها اللَهُ مِن قُربِكَ المَعنى
And Egypt has been naught but a word since you left
Yet God has restored its meaning through your nearness
