أرى مَشهَدي بي مِنكَ عَنكَ خَصَّني

عَلى أَنَّهُ بَينَ الأَنامِ عُمومُ

I see my vision in you though from you I'm veiled

As if between all people it's shared in common

وَلي مِنكَ غَيبٌ في تَصَحُّحِ رُؤيَتي

وَكُلُّ حَديثي في هَواكَ قَديمُ

Yet of you there's an absence correcting my sight

And all my talk of your love is time-worn
