يميناً بِما أَولَيتَ مِن خالِصِ الوَلا

وَوُدٍّ لَكُم مِنّي حَوَتهُ الأَضالِعُ

By the right you gave me when you bound me with the ties of faithfulness,

And by the love my ribs enclose for you,

لَقَد نَزَلَت بي وَحشَةٌ بَعدَ أُنسِكُم

عَلَيَّ بِها ضاقَ الفَضى وَهوَ واسِعُ

Loneliness has descended upon me since your company departed.

Because of it, the vast desert seems confining.

وَأَبرَحُ ما أَلقاهُ أَنَّ مَزارِكُم

قَريبٌ وَلي الزَيارَةُ مانِعُ

Yet I know that your dwelling place is near at hand

And that only my circumstances prevent me from visiting.
