بأبي مَنْ هَرَبْتُ مِنْ توديعِهْ

وبعثتُ الدموعَ في تشييعهْ

By the one I fled from bidding farewell

And I sent tears to see him off

يا أبا حاتمٍ دعاءَ مَشُوقٍ

ألهبَ الشَّوْقُ نارَهُ في ضلوعِه

O Abu Hatim, the prayer of a yearner

Whose yearning lit its fire in his ribs

بان دانيلُ يومَ بانَ بِقَلْبٍ

أنا أرجُو رُجُوعَهُ بِرُجُوعِه

It was clear, the day Daniel appeared with a heart

I hope for his return with his return
