غِبْتُما يا سَيِّدّيْ مُضَرِ

بين باديها إلى الحَضَر

You have been absent, my lords, from Mudar

Between the nomads and the settled lands,

في مَسِنْيَا غيبةً تركتْ

حَلَباً ليلاً بلا قَمَرِ

Leaving Misnia so long absent

Like an unlit night in Halab.

فمتى يُقْدَرْ إِيابُكُما

لا أَجِدْ عَتْباً على القدر

When will your return be ordained?

I find no fault with fate.

يا سِرَاجَيْ هاشمٍ وكفى

بسراجَيْ سُرْجِ ذا البَشَر

O two lights of Hashim, it suffices

That you are the lamps of mankind.

أنتما من هاشمٍ وأبي

في محلِّ السَّمْعِ والبَصَر

You are of Hashim and his father,

In the place of hearing and sight.
