لَقَلبي لِبُعدك عَنّي عَليلُ

فَشَوقي صَحيحٌ وَجِسمي عَليلُ

My heart is sick for your absence from me

My longing is healthy yet my body is sick

وَوُدّي عَلى حسب ما تَعلَمينَ

تَزولُ الجِبالُ وَما إِن يَزولُ

And my love is as much as you know

Mountains may pass away but it will not pass away

فَلا تَستَحيلي لِبُعد الديار

فَإِنّي مَعَ البُعد لا أَستَحيلُ

So do not become difficult due to the distance of the homes

For I, despite the distance, will not become difficult
