حَشَدَ الذُنوبَ عَلَيَّ يَومَ عِتابي

حَتّى لَأَذكَرَني بَيَومِ حِسابي

He gathered sins against me on the day of my punishment

Until he reminded me of the day of my judgment

أَهلاً بِهَذا العَتبِ فَهوَ مُبَشِّري

أَنّي لِأَحبابي مِنَ الأَحبابِ

Welcome to this reproach, for it gives me good news

That I am among the most beloved of loved ones

وَإِذا بَكَيتُ يُقالُ زَوَّرَ أَدمُعاً

وَيَغُرُّ خادِعُ دَمعِهِ الكَذّابِ

And when I cry, it is said he fakes his tears

And the lying deceiver's tears lead him astray

وَالهَجرُ هاجِرَةٌ يُفيضُ سَرابَها

جَفني فَيَصدُقُ دونَ كُلِّ سَرابِ

Estrangement is a migrant whose mirage overflows

My eyelids, so they believe beyond any mirage
